"Residual spherical aberrations" - the lens suffers from focus shifts when stopping down.
The focus information is obtained at max. aperture so it's slightly off at other settings. At close focus distances this is a relevant problem.
RSAs are not so uncommon in this class.

No, it generally even is one of the reasons why bokeh with these lenses is better. Some of it is deliberately left uncorrected, and sometimes I think even deliberately introduced, in a more or less controlled way, as far as that is possible.
Kind regards, Wim
