 What I observe is that at narrow bandwidths, turning on NR 
 increases the overall volume level of the noise, and changes it's 
 character to some extent (more LF components).  Doesn't seem to 
 matter much what the NR level is set to.  It's enough of an increase 
 to reach for the gain control over in some cases.

This NR effect sounds somewhat like the NR in the Kachina 505DSP. Users of 
the Kachina probably know what I am referring to. Being that Doug Smith was 
involved in the Kachina, maybe he could produce an explanation.
