I don't know about newer clarinets. It is, of course possible to correct those two notes by pulling the bell out a little and/or by dropping the pitch by opening the oral cavity as needed. I suppose in theory it should possible to design a clarinet that's in tune throughout the register. I've just never played on one.
It's easier to adjust the long notes downward if necessary than to get the throat notes up very much if they're flat.
It's also relatively easy to get the throat notes flatter if they're sharp while the rest of the clarinet is basically in tune.
There's more to this, though, because on most Boehm clarinets low E(3) and F are flat while their 12ths are in tune. That's an acoustical issue, I suppose with the Boehm design, that makes tuning those long notes trickier.
