And this is the million dollar question, even Crumpps NACA 'bible' states that long period stability was not looked in to much as it is of no particular consequence....so it seems the much maligned Spitfire failed 'slightly' in a characteristic of little to no significance, in summary it can be asumed they used a basic rule of stability is beter than instability in this regard so they gave the Spit an 'F' and Crumpp something to cling to.
