Most manufacturers are not fully aware of what they are doing and lack a lot of knowledge about the technlogy behind speakers. Would you mind tell me what brand of speakers you use?
The fact that you can easily hear polarity flipping may as well be an indication of high asymetric distortion levels of the specific speakers and may have nothing or little to do with the acoustic summation of the drivers in the design.

More to the point, all drivers are wired in phase and sound together as one -- no push-pull effect that distorts the polarity.

That's not the way it works. Speakers can have all drivers wired with same polarity but still have gross phase distortion that mess up the time domain seriously.. making it a "non-min-phase design".
Speakers with first order electrical slopes use to have such distortion in the time domain.
