I think Cross is very accurate on this. Problems lies in the exact beginning of the track and the exact end. (your mention 0.01 beat per 132; so a 0.01% off)
The digital track that is used by Cross has gone through many steps:
A live performance like is not accurate.
A digital registration using digital sound source for BPM is depending on the encoder and processor with potential minor shifts.
If going from hdd file to CD/DVD it gets worse. then writing speed comes in, which differs per burner (unless it is pressed).
Reading same issue, every CD/DVD uses its own speed. One main difference between 'consumer' and DJ CD gear is that the latter (price depending) has a constant rotation.
And of course when coding from one type to an other brings a new shift both in speed as well as in begin/end timing.
So a good question; but should Cross by rounding up.... or does it bring all tracks in a exact comparible state..
