Yeah I think your right. But unless your building a frame from scratch and doing something similar to what I was talking about it will be difficult not to have the problem you talk about. It would still look good.
Thinking about my method you may also beable to fillet braze with brass where I said tig and silver braze the tubes into the lug tube type interface. The main advantage of this would be not needing a tig welder and it's easier to file / polish a brass join than a welded one smooth. I am not sure but I think there is a sufficient melting point temperature difference to allow this. I am no welder though so this is just some basic theory.
Like many things I am sure there are many different method with different pros / cons.
