I think L-Lenses are supposed to have a robust construction, so some bumping during shipping should not cause any elemnts to become decentered.

It's like weather seals... no matter how good it is, there's only so much it can take. Heavy vibrations over a long period of time from a vehicle will not leave tell tale signs on a box but can move things around inside, maybe even more than a simple drop.
Also you got to ask the question... is the 28-300L going to be as robust as the 24-105L? And is the TS-E 90 less robust than the 24-105L because it's not an L lens?
As a simple rule of thumb, more elements = more things to go wrong.
