How many previous crossed-cable incidents happened on aircraft that also had roll spoilers? Most of the types mentioned above predate automated roll spoilers.

As noted above, if the sense of the controls is exactly reversed you might get used to it (for example using the one hand on each column method) but if the controls essentially reverse authority as you command more roll (due to the ailerons being overpowered by the roll spoilers) then you're in a very rarely explored situation. If there are some exceptional-airmanship awards being handed out, these guys should be near the front of the line.
