I am pretty darn sure I have an IRD fw on my Phil Wood hub. Even if I don't, I can not imagine what the Phil Wood people are talking about. A freewheel is a freewheel. The only issue is how much lateral space it takes up on that side of the hub. If it threads on nicely and doesn't ram into your right dropout or right chainstay, then problems seem unlikely, if not impossible (assuming you have a compatible chain and derailleur on there, too).
