Phil Wood increased the diameter of their spoke holes to accommodate 13g spokes a few years back. The important factor didn't change, however. That's the thickness of the flange. So when the spoke is under tension, it doesn't move, and the larger diameter of the hole is irrelevant. It's still a perfect fit.
