I agree that AWB is crude but the question remains whether this isn't so good enough that the remaining differences are irrelevant for normal photographic purposes. During the good ol film times I got annoyed by some lenses in this respect but during the recent years I can't remember an obvious color tint caused by a lens.
Of course, AWB isn't everything. If you select florescent light WB, the values are static and then the differences can pop up again. However, if you go for such a setting you got way bigger problems regarding color accuracy than the lens.
In any case - I will not test this because most readers won't understand what I am talking about there. Ghosting/glare would be of much higher priority since that's immediately something people can relate to.
