For whatever it is worth, when I tuned for him several years ago there was one note he didn't like (D5, I believe) just above the strut that also suffered the subtle false beating. At the time there really wasn't much I could do, and he accepted that graciously without issue. I remember the concert and whole experience as one of my more fun jobs, and the piano was not tuned in ET. So- do your best, try those suggestions, and it will be fine.
