Chuck:

You are correct about the record RF switching.  Merlin offered the ME-148 to address this problem.  There's a literature page for it here:

  Depending on the type of music, doing video-only inserts could be troublesome.
  As I recall, during a video insert, the heads recorded across the full width of the tape, and relatively quiet passages could sometimes be heard with a bit of 960Hz buzz in the background.
  Didn't some machines later on switch video record off on each head as it passed over the longitudinal audio track to eliminate this?
