This I expect, would be an artifact of the usual pan pot, precisely because 
that pan pot doesn't also put in the phase shifts one normally hears in the 
real world.  For that reason alone, I detest the use of the pan pot on a 
dynamic basis as an audio editing tool.  It simply doesn't do it all, 
whereas the moving source does.
