It is true that the Custom WB only creates a correction matrix for the neutral object imaged. So there is no guarantee that the Custom WB will fix all the other hues in the capture.

The need for anything closer to perfection leads us into the realm of DNG and DCP profiles based on the X-rite 24-patch card and I certainly can't be bothered with that. But you should know that Adobe's raw to DNG converter will work on SD14 X3Fs, thereby opening up another avenue in a quest for perfect color ...

This might be of interest:

One thing I am certain of is that the creepy “dust filter” over the sensor is distorting the colour and image. It has to be. Especially shooting into the light.

If I recall correctly, the "dust filter" was different than the SD14's in later cameras.
