Such internal aesthetic clashes must be common, no? Probably some composers in some pieces intended a solo to be played with rubato and display a temporary freedom, while others intended a more particular effect in context of the containing music. The conductor decides what degree of which effects, but I can easily imagine thinking the conductor "wrong", either as a player or -especially- as a godlike audience member.
In the referenced Rach, I'd think the basic tempo of the solo wouldn't want to vary from that for the overall movement, even if the overall tempo itself were debatable.
Up one rung, there've been a number of publicized open disagreements between concerto soloists and conductors, about tempi and other aspects, that actually carried into live performance, with sometimes infamous results.
