first thing is to establish if the fenomenae excists, and what is the 
nature of it.
in the discussion sofar  the question if it can be problematic is secondary.
to answer the question however in that respect  ; what is acceptable 3 
cents, 4, 5 or 6. howmany beatings are still tasteful?
i think the A6 could in potential do  better , certainly in 
"tightness"of sound, maybe also on the field of fm (a previous part of 
this discussion).maybe strictness b.e. with cleaner higher sounds could 
also be a way to descibe it. or a beautiful lower sound longer lasting 
with only a veryslow modulationeffect caused by a very small microtonal 
difference . and then i mean slow for all oscillators.
in this perspective i feel a synth with the potential of the A6 , with 
the technoloy of today, simply should be better tunable then lets say an 
20 years old dinosaurier. this  goes beyond the discussion of analog 
versus phasesynced digital.
so on one hand it would increase the soundpotential of the A6, at least 
you would have the choise to make it more ""analog"".
on the other hand  making clear what is ,  also makes  clear what 
shouldn't be.
regarding this aspect : for me changing the most annoying 
oscillatorchips (their deviation was by the way above +/-3cent, their 
slowest drifting was at least 0ne cycle per second) greatly improved the 
instrument.
