Imliberson. There are many recordings of the Rach by top pro players where the bump is clearly audible. Similarly, you hear many instances of bad intonation on the D in similar groups. They've kept their jobs. IF, it's necesary to compromise between smoothness and a slight pitch difference then I'd go for the former, but that doesn't mean it can't be done at correct pitch. Again, there are famous recordings of the Rach where famous players appear to have made that same choice.
In this particular solo, the time spent on the D isn't always that long, depending on how much the conductor flexes the phrase or allows the player to flex it. I've heard cases where going over the bump had formed a large amount of the time that should have been spent on the D. It just doesn't sound good, yet the player and conductor have accepted it. Perhaps their ears/minds fill in the missing time on the D.
My real point here is, I think it's easy for us to accept or get used to the way things are on our instrument, as with my guitar examples. Yet with a little thought, and perhaps compromise, we can get around them for a better musical outcome. We may disagree.
