I can confirm...
Both my stock spur, and my spur that I got from Torrance are not round.
It isn't a huge deal if you set your mesh correct.
Since the depth of lash changes as the spur rotates you need to set the mesh as tight as possible at the 'tightest' location so that once the spur rotates to give you the lash on the sloppy part, it still has enough to grab onto.
I took my D413 to a Minnesota Nitro series race to run against a couple of sponsored guys... A budy of mine was wrenching and I asked him to gear it up 2 teeth... but I told him: "Just get the teeth close, I'll set the mesh and lock it in."
I'm hoping that JC, Avid or someone.... comes out with a new spur that is machined delrin.
