I don't understand how such good variance can be achieved without some 
method of electronic frequency control on the TCXO (unless the TCXO does 
have EFC)?

Otherwise, we would be back to the case where the receiver would 
approximate the position of the PPS by skipping pulses, and we would 
have the typical 40nS jitter (assuming a 25 MHz clock)

I am more puzzled now :-)
