Just two guesses: Trimming probably not required
because of a clever circuit where drifting volatges cancel.
(It's on one chip after all). Glitch probably smoothed with
limited slew rate (rather than limited band width) stage.
Just guesses - I never tried to investigate further because
it is no problem in a practical VCO. If there are some
remnants of a glitch it will hurt much less on a signal
of high harmonic content (saw) than on a "dark" triangle.
