Yes, I've seen this problem before, as I'm sure many of this list has. The most notorious example I can think of is a run of Baldwin Hamiltons that had this difficulty in the low to mid tenor region. In the more mild cases, it's not really a problem. In some of the more severe cases, it can make the affected strings very difficult to get in tune to stay because once you have the one in tune, you move it in trying to tune the one crouded in against it. I haven't found a good way of doing it other than just keep going back and forth between the affected strings until you can live with the tuning. At times, I would get to the point where I'd "guess" where the other pin would move when I tuned this one. (Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get it done.) Just my observation.
