It has been done before, but I did it today with a shot that had difficult detail, a distant metallic structure close to resolution limit.

I converted the file with Silkypix (as delivered with the camera), that can produce some nice looking files. Then I discovered the artefacts, false colour and moiré, and thought "well that's the way it is", despite the X-Trans blabla sensor. Only later I rechecked the in camera JPEG made at the same time to find out that the internal processing is so much superior to the RAW converter Fujifilm ships with the cameras, calling it "RAW file converter EX", just like with the old DSLRs S3/S5pro. To me it seems that Silky did not receive the necessary infos to implement a clean conversion of the X-Trans, or they did not bother to spend much time optimizing it. A shame.

I'd rather Lightroom worked.

P.S. there is moire in the DPReview JPEG samples for X-Pro1.
