Square set-up & transmission issues?

Is there any evidence that the much-debated xDrive transmission woes are more prevalent on cars with staggered wheels/tyres?  Does running "square" reduce the likelihood?

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I've searched around the forum and haven't found any posts relevant to this specific query.

Square setup enables 4 identical tyres to be used = Identical rolling circumference = no transmission wind up
