Not so fast! First of all, all things considered, since I don't have
any film glass that I can move to a DSLR system (assuming even the
Zuikos on the 4/3 systems would be at best stopgap measure), I would
much rather have a smaller system, than a big system like the
Kodak/Nikon/Canon. So I want you to be right!
But this aberration may or may not have to do with the sensor size.
I think the jury us still out of this. For example, looks like the
Sigma SD9 also has some problems and the x3 is a smaller sensor! See
this thread:

What the Canon 1D shows already though, is that there are
significantly more details to be have when you move to a 10-14
megapixel system. In the ideal case, a camera manufacturer needs to
have a line of interchangable lens system with SAME sensor size but
w/ different resolution so that the lens magnification factor is
constant across the lines. This wouldn't make sense on a full size
sensor, would it?

But then again you could use the much less expensive system of
disposable sensors that have no angular color aberration problems.
They come 36 to a roll.
