Will, again, I have little knowledge of rebreathers, but I thought fully
closed units have one dilutent gas (helium or nitrogen) and oxygen.  

If so, how can you possibly use two seperate non-breathable gasses without
a working PO2 sensor?

If not, then the dilutent must be breathable, but it would have to be like
a really low O2 heliox or nitrox, and I can't see that as "very efficient"
