Fundamental error when assuming "per unit Celcius" = "per unit kelvin"

You should be multiplying by ΔT, not the numeric value of T. Otherwise with zero or negative °C you would get nonsense results. $\Delta T = T_1 - T_2$ will then be the same in celcius and kelvin.

No. If you have a pressure rise stated in bar/°C and the rise is from 20°C to 25°C then you multiply by 5. If the pressure rise is given as bar/K then based on the difference will be the same. However ...
