I fear that test has sufficient power to reveal the full picture. The NTPD PLL is quite temperamental, and when combined with the median filter and a poll rate of 2048 seconds, things can get quite "interesting". I'm pretty sure that the linear smear interacts better with the median filter at high poll intervals. >I'm going to run a test with a linear approach, too.
