Craig,
I got one recently and yes, it's a pain in the you-know-what, but it
definitely was the answer as far as sharpness was concerned on my Xpan
panoramics. I did notice a sort of newton ring on one of the images -
it was in an area I could just clone it out, but I wondered about that.
How would you describe your "mosaic" pattern? That sounds something
like tiling to me. If that's the case, I haven't seen that, at least
not yet.
