As mentioned above, DP3M is a 75mm equivalent, the new Foveon sensor is a 1.5 crop, not 1.7 as previous generation.

While Sigma cameras tend to have challenges with some artificial light and incandescent light in particular, I can't remember complaints when used with a flash. In fact, my own limited experience with a DP3M and a cheap Metz flash has been quite positive.

I have never had a problem, but could it be that those issues are related to if you only shoot JPGs?

Absolutely not. In my experience, you are far more likely to weird white balance results from JPEGs than than RAWs. Skin tones will be harder to control as well.
