Incorrect. The chroma bandpass is a tuned circuit whose phase shift is affected by the amplitude response tuning and not necessarily zero at the subcarrier frequency, and thus can affect the tint if the burst takeoff for the oscillator control is before the chroma bandpass. However, if the chroma bandpass response is nominal, the phase as well as amplitude should be close to as-designed. A 90 degree shift is much more than woud be expected from a slight bandpass misalignment. That's why the search should be for something that shifts the relative phase of the signal and oscillator paths, and it is more likely to be in the oscillator path. This could occur in the feedback of CW from the oscillator to the chroma phase detector as well as in the burst takeoff path. That's why I suggested investigating the L-R circuit in the path from oscillator output to phase detector. The problem could also be caused by the oscillator output transformer being mistuned.
