The problem is, that the exact values of the other waypoints aren't known to the public until now. But Page 13 of the French version of the BEA report has a Google Maps image of the flightpath, also showing the ACARS waypoints. Zooming up that map and assuming these waypoints had been entered using the same precision, I'd think they line up very well, except for the last one, which is slightly deviating to the West.
