It's definitely an issue and any competent speaker design knows/addresses it. Now, granted, expense might factor in, but when we're talking about speakers priced in the thousands of dollars, it can easily be taken care of.
Rounding a corner more or less is at the tip of the iceberg these days for addressing diffraction -- you can do far, far more. Revel does an excellent job on the Ultima2 series. Vivid is another, and their paper here addresses the issue nicely:

These days, if a company hasn't addressed diffraction well, they're shortchanging to consumer by doing shoddy work. It's as simple as that really. The post before mentions Harbeth. We've measured one of their speakers. Perhaps they could do more to address it, but they're doing a fine job as it is:
