Ugh, I hope you're wrong about the +/- 5 degrees being "in spec". I got a label from Smith first thing this morning, and dropped off the 640 at FedEx pretty soon after that. I did have a nice chat with the guy who answered their CS line, we talked range visits and general shooting for a bit, hopefully it's a good sign that the 640 will come back all straightened out as others have. He did tell me about canted barrels and tolerances, but I insisted that it wasn't good form to have a sight leaning to the left that should be straight up and down.
