Dear Jacob, closely related to Ethan's explanation, but not quite the same, the contribution of f' and f" is still affected by the fall off from the ADPs, i.e. they also fall off exponentially, even for high quality crystals with a very low B-factors.
The effect that you describe, however, still has to be accounted for during refinement, which is why you have the DISP command in SHELXL.
