I think this is indeed an interesting thought. It is basically the same thing that is happening inside most isolation cabs i heard, with the little difference that the reflection and resulting phasing is not by intention there. Normally you would not go for that "canny" sound, except for special effects. But since the KPA does not cature any reverb tails, this might be interesting as a part of the equalization of the signal to produce some cool stuff. Most engineers normally try to go for a perfect in-phase signal when working with more than one mic. I think that controlled phasing should be seen just as another way of sound shaping. I once read that James Hetfield did the same thing on several recordings, having multiple mics on a guitar cab and moving one or more them slightly out of phase for some special signature tone.
