Exactly right, but one would EXPECT the autopilot to compensate for it, just as a real pilot would. If a real pilot were to sense the roll, they would correct the roll AND the rudder. You wouldn't THINK that the rudder trim would be so acute as to be outside the limits of the autopilots ability to compensate on all axis.
We need an ATP here to explain this one. I wonder where Dave Morrison is right now? PeachParts Tower to Dave......
