Ronnie, I'm not sure you're going to get an answer that satisfies you. I'm sure that the Meridian staff performed a lot of listening tests, but I seriously doubt they considered all scenarios.

Having said that, I too am surprised that the 861v6 cannot deal with the jitter from the HD621 when it is outputting standard-rate audio, because that is the implication. Unless I'm missing something obvious, it also goes against the claim that the 861v6 is virtually immune to jitter.
