Consider it a non-issue.
I've never seen it, despite pushing the (200) camera to it's extreme low light limits, which is the only time it will show up in a properly setup and upgraded 100 series camera. I've heard reports of people still seeing it on 100 series cameras that are firmware upgraded, but then only in very poor lighting conditions. I couldn't induce the effect in my experimentation in these conditions (gain, slow shutter, wide open). I also have worked with 100's and 110's and never seen the problem in many hours of real world shooting.
Yes, the chip on all these cameras is split in processing, but it's nothing you should be thinking or worrying about. It is the best way to accomplish what they are trying to do, and common to other pro grade cameras as well. The only issue was "tuning" the processing for stressful lighting conditions when the 1st gen cameras were first released.
