I believe that the "glockenspiel effect" that you describe arises because the localization cues experienced by the listener are different for ITDs than for ILDs. Because we primarily rely on ITDs at low frequencies and ILDs at high frequencies, if the reproduction system doesn't handle them in the same way then the listener experiences a disparity. This happens in both Blumlein stereo and in Ambisonics.
at the risk of eternal damnation: if you want to fix this in stereo, you can. the solution is called ORTF, NOS, or any other slight variation thereof :-D
incidentally, higher-order panned sources are also way more stable with respect to timbre.
