"Since first order crossovers do not alter phase"
That's just not true. First order crossovers COULD result in a speaker with linear phase for a mic at some specific point in space, but almost never really do even that. Just throwing a simple crossover at a driver doesn't give you linear phase of the system.
Besides the issue of positional relative delays between drivers, the entire response characteristic of each driver (i.e., both of the electrical crossover network and the raw driver itself) is the 'real' crossover order. Even a "no crossover" speaker isn't going to be linear phase, nature isn't as nice as that.
