Most of the oscillator circuits out there place a small, but constant DC voltage on the crystal, which has the same effect on the ions as
FWIW, the HP 10811 definitely does not do this (according to its designers) since the crystal is capacitively coupled. Furthermore, they added a 1 megohm resistor across the crystal to make sure it has no DC on it. I would be surprised if any precision oscillator applied DC to the crystal.
