I think the answer is yes, the force due to a bump universally tends to flex
a bent fork tube. Ditto that it it tends more strictly to compress a
straight one. But is the difference really big enough to be universally
discernible? Clearly Jan thinks that for highly bent forks it is
significant.

Just to clarify, that's my opinion; it's not based on experience.
Cross levers are designed for a straight section of bar, and the spot
on m-bars where levers are usually mounted isn't straight. Perhaps if
you put the levers on the outside of the bar, but I don't know how
that might feel
I hope you are right about giving folks ideas on how to set one up.
