Probably isn't an issue now, and Browning doesn't seem to mention it anywhere now. Different ways cutting a chamber and different choke styles may have either made up for it, or magnified it. But that there is no real agreement leads me to believe that it is a non-issue.
It doesn't matter how many pellets strike the bird, only how many strike the vitals. Shooting for the center mass of a bird is like shooting center mass on a big game animal, shoot for the vitals, and your odds of a clean kill go way up.
