In my experience internal mics are so uncorrelated with another pickup that phase doesn't really enter into the picture. You can be technically in phase or out of phase and it's fine (maybe a bit like the way parts of the guitar top are out of phase with each other - it just adds to the complexity of the sound). This is why I'm able to produce stereo from the two by playing games with phase without cancellation problems. I have had issues combining pickups that are more closely correlated, like an SBT+UST, where phase issues become evident.
