Our old (1974) Victor 1640 doesn't do that. It will, however, move the cross slide a tiny bit if you switch the lever on the apron from feeding X to feeding in Z. The clutch to engage the feed does not ever nudge the non-engaged axis.
Ken,
Yes, power feeding longitudinally it nudges the cross slide a few thousands when first engaged.
