Hi If you go back far enough in the NIST papers done for the Frequency Control Symposium, you can find a number of them on GPS receivers. One that got a pretty full go through was the (now golden) Motorola timing receiver. They found a number of issues with it. The receiver did get better as the firmware was worked over.
Any receiver that has not been beat on for timing likely has issues. For what ever reason, the manufacturers of low cost modules don't have the time / equipment / money / interest / people / expertise to really ring things out. Most firmware issues are found by customers. It is not uncommon to find that the firmware team has a fairly large wall covered with "fix requests". Which ones get worked on will always depend on the money behind the request. Timing is going to be pretty far down the list for most outfits….
