Correct. Remember that the rangefinder mechanism is a mechanical linkage with the lens. The mechanism only knows the distance set on the focusing ring. If a rangefinder lens suffers from focus shift, you either avoid the aperture(s) at which the shift occur, or learn to compensate for it. No other way around it, as far as I know. Maybe Brian can comment as well.

From what I have read that's correct. You can get a technician to optimise the focus of the disagreeable lens at a particular aperture if there is one setting that you use more than most. I know this is possible with some lenses but not sure about all.
