Lots of other problems have come to light, but this is not one of them. While this may not be as definitive as some would like, it is strongly suggestive that this is not an area of concern.
I thought quite a few fairly authorative sources had conjectured that the forces on the stabiliser in the out of trim situation they found themselves in were such that it couldn't be counter-acted by the electric trim or the manual wheel?
