Is there proof that any camera suffers from metamerism? So far all I have seen is random pictures of different scenes. That has nothing to do with metamerism. Actually, the M9 may have a metamerism problem. But who knows--no one has done any test for metamerism.Metamerism has nothing to do with AWB, or manual white balance for that matter, and could not be addressed in post processing, a firmware upgrade, or a color profile.
It will be interesting to read Puts' take, which is imminent on Tao of Leica blog.
Actually, since the illuminant is a factor in metamerim, then WB should separate a metametric pair.
Unless you are a product photographer that does studio fabric work or you do reproductions for museums, metamerism is one of those esoteric properties that photographers don't need to worry about--not exactly what you would use a rangefinder for.
