Conceptually, they should have better chrominance resolution than classical Bayer sensors.
But I'd like to see a proof that it works in real life. For example MTF curves when shooting Red/Green/Blue test charts instead of black charts.

Yes, they should. Can you see that? No, but you can probably measure it... Detail sits in the luminance, not the chrominance...
Bayer CFA colour "deduction" is pretty successful in recreating colours.
The biggest problem for foveon sensors (if you do not mind AA-filter-less results) is the light loss compared to Bayer CFA sensors, making them potentially more noisy.
