The most recent issue of the Piano Technicians Journal has a good article on bass tuning as well (pp. 24-25). I don't know whether you're a member or not -- if you aren't, at the very least you should subscribe to the Journal. It's a fantastic bargain, and a very valuable resource for any practicing technician. That said -- yeah, sometimes there's a lot of "garbage" beating which we have ignore, after we pay due attention to proper octave tests (6:3, 8:4, whatever), especially in spinets of less stellar brands (American-Aeolian stencil pianos, etc.).
