Sounds interesting! I always wondered why the SEM filter had the
feedback
loop AC-coupled. And the OB-X filter even has a series resistor at the
ota output, before it is mixed with the diode-resistor-network.
I did always suspect that it has to do with stability, but never fully
checked it out.

And would this not be the answer to your recent parametric EQ question
as well ?
