When I visited the Photokina stand last Sunday, I explicitely asked about Moiré. Since I was just a regular show visitor I couldn't ask any of the engineers behind the scenes, and had to make do with the people in the public part of the stand, mostly temps.
The first time I asked I only got the standard answer that clearly had been rehearsed.
When I returned later in the day, I repeated the question to another guy, and he turned out to be considerably more knowledgeable. He confirmed that they hadn't had any real information apart from the standard, but that he and a colleague had dug up a test chart the other day and tried very hard themselves to create Moiré. However he said they couldn't produce a single shot that showed Moiré (using on camera review). He showed me the test chart and invited me to try myself. Of course in the short time span that I could take a few snaps I couldn't do better than they had. Seeing the chart they used and judging from the way he spoke about the subject, his conclusion may not be final, it did certainly inspire confidence.
Still, this may just mean the JPG engine deals with Moiré in a very efficient way (after all, the camera only shows the embedded JPG and never the RAW itself). Even if this be the case, then the same should be possible in Post Processing, and the problem really isn't one.
Nothing firm, but still...
