That's not necessarily so. It would make sense for the Cornish loan of W. gorsedd to conform to existing cognates in Cornish, where the choice between -th and -dh has already been (presumably) normalised in the orthography of one's choice. A failure to conform in this way could be deemed a mistake.

Since I write UC, I would use: 
eseth, pl. esedhow
gorseth, pl. gorsedhow
…along with other <-eth> words, such as a dheseth, geseth, beth, seth, cleth, jeth etc.

I would expect users of, say, SWF-T to use <-dh> consistently for all such words, in conformity with the design of their orthography. For them to use <-th> would be a 'mistake'.
