One of the problems may be that many recordings are made with multiple microphones and after these get mixed down there can be a total phase jumble.

I'm not sure where the "problems" come in?The test tones, used to test the phase linearity of the speakers, won't be a jumble and if one can straighten out the speakers then at least we will hear the jumble on a recordings the way the producer intended. :-)
The jumble on the recording is what it is. I wouldn't want to "fix" it if I could. That would be like repainting the Mona Lisa.

My point is that the audibility of phase distortion in a loudspeaker assumes that there isn't already gross distortion on the recording. If there is, it will likely mask any phase distortion in the speaker, or worse, make a bad recording sound better, possibly leading to a poor choise of system components or system setup.
