You still haven't told us what these "problems" are.

But what will a Foveon chip with an anti-aliasing filter do that an
equivalent pixel count Bayer sensor won't? If you want your camera to not
have an anti-aliasing filter, then you have to argue that it's acceptable to
report 9 line patterns as being 5-line patterns of a lower frequency. I'm
willing to listen to that argument.
