How much is normal and how much is a defect in a part can be hard to say. Just remember the idea behind dynamic convergence is to get the lines straight if thats done then it should be pretty close when the static is right on.
I followed your suggestion and touched up the static as I was doing the dynamic. It helped a little, but most of the improvement came from a second cleaning of the pots. Still, to get the better sides, I had to sacrifice the lower horizontal convergence and especially the lower right corner.

The one pot that tested oddly also had a click that sounded like a wire might have come unwound or something and was clicking as the wiper pushed it over. You could even feel it in your fingers. The coil is a given as it's seized. I'm pretty certain you can't lube the core of them. They seem pretty porous and I'm sure it would ruin the core.
