Not sure I would describe it as pitch stability. What I do find is it closes the aperture in the tip from the sides a bit, which in turn might stabilize the pitch a bit. In order to compensate for this, I try to scrape my windows at more of an angle (I described this on my blog recently) in order to leave the back more open and keep airflow free. I also find scraping this area in the tip deadens the tip vibrations on the side a bit leaving it a bit "darker", and focuses the vibrations to more of the center of the tip, and in turn the overall sound more.
