We have done pull tests with both 10mm and 12mm diameter karabiners and canīt detect any substantial difference in the holding power.
This is not the same thing but ... I have found that a rap on double 9's with an ATC is much more managable using two HMS biners side-by-side rather than one of the same style of biners. Edit: Of course, that's a bit more extreme of a difference than in the testing you mention.
