I just tested it in my studio this afternoon with a view camera.  
Focused on a wall and marked the location of a picture on the wall with 
a grease pencil on the GG.  Moved the back laterally 10mm.  Lo and 
behold, the picture was now exactly 10mm from the grease pencil 
outline.  This is the same no matter what lens I put on the camera.  
Sorry, but you're wrong.

Are you moving the lens with the back?  If you only move the back, then 
of course a 10mm lateral move will result in a 10mm shift in the image. 
 It's when the lens moves with the back (which is the case with all the 
current cameras that support image stabilisation, AFAIK) that the nature 
of the lens becomes an issue.
