My guess is that they are intentional, not accidental. What sounds bad to some ears can sound great to others. The modulation may sound bad on piano, but really nice on drums. Some aspects of the PCM96 may have been half-baked upon release (the Firewire implementation sounds like it had some issues), but the algorithm developer has been developing reverbs at Lexicon for the better part of a few decades at this point, so I am sure that all sonic artifacts are intended.
I will admit that the chorus on the PCM96 Concert Hall sounds very dissimilar to the PCM70 Concert Hall chorus, so I am wondering how accurate of a port there was of the 224 Concert Hall. However, it has been close to 2 decades since I have worked with a 224XL, and I have never seen a 224, so maybe this is what it sounded like.
