I can't say I've noticed any difference in shifting performance between having the cables run all the way under the tape or having the cables come out at the front of the drops. I've only ever used them on other people's bikes, mind; I guess as the cables wear the tighter bends of the under-tape routing might make a difference, but as you say it doesn't seem to be a major issue.
