Interesting and thanks. However I still wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Models necessarily fail to capture all the modes of the real world.
The further we get from known conditions, the greater the risk that
some implicit linearization in the model will fail. And runs
performed prior to 2000 with CCM3 will be cruder and have fewer ways
to diverge from normalcy than what we can manage now. I would call
this a very preliminary result.
That said, if this could be replicated by other, more complete models
and under various forcing extents it just might portend a happy
coincidence.
On the other hand (the glacier thread on realclimate having wandered
onto the same topic as we are discussing here) Hank Roberts points out
on realclimate that the acidification of the ocean doesn't care about
the solar forcing.
