Sorry not quite sure what you are getting at here.
To clarify : If you record one source into one mic and lay that on one track, what you will not have, is any phase issues recorded into that track.
If you copy that track , what you will have is two tracks with no phase issues recorded into them.
However If you record one source into two mics what you will have is phase issues recorded into the mix weather one track or two .
Not that someone might not want a particular sound( stereo effect etc.) with the phase issues being less important to them that the desired effect .
So with that in mind
I believe that the phase issues from delaying one track in milliseconds (if any ) are far more negligible, then the inherent phase issues from recording one source into two mics.
So the only possible phase issue that theoretically could be present would be those while listening, having the sound reach one ear from one speaker slightly delayed from the sound from the other speaker reaching the other ear . IMO this results in achieving the wide stereo effect while have a cleaner mix .
