I think it might if your panning is not perfectly smooth and has some jerks in it.

The camera should not realise that it is moving in a particular plane once there is no acceleration or deceleration in that plane - in other words just after you have started to pan and are up to speed.

So for example if the bird was flying evenly from left to right and you were panning well except for some up and down wobbles, I think the camera should not be fooled by the panning but should compensate for the wobbles. It should work with diagonal panning as well.
In theory, it could, but I've found that it makes little difference (maybe even a slightly worse 'hit rate' with SR on) in that scenario whether it's on or off. Shutter speed is much more critical, and with the K20d in particular, I found upping the ISO was much more beneficial.

amaturish..... real bullying starts with an atomic wedgie, so bad you wind up flossing your teeth with the waistband of your tighty-whities, for a warm up. Then it gets worse.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Only one jerk in MY panning
