There seems to be something different in Pan and Zoom that is effected by the dpi. The Ver. 5.5.5 offline pan and zoom looks fine but when the sequence is updated to Ver. 6.5.x then the pan and zoom is soft on some stills when the dpi is not 72 dpi. Something changed in this regard. I haven't double checked with ver. 6.0.x to see if it has the same issue. I would guess that the change they had to make to pan and zoom for the 64 bit version with no QT 64 bit for the pc side has something to do with this relatively new behavior. The way I've been catching the problem is when I see the offline reference from a 5.5.x system looking much sharper than the online sequence.I don't know if there are other aspects of Avid that have issue with dpi values but when you write, "The fact that Media Composer cares if an image is set to 72dpi is an archaic anomaly that Avid has never fixed." I don't think that applies to Pan and Zoom as it use to work without requiring 72dpi on still. I'm also pretty sure it's not every still that needs to be 72dpi. I have a current project where a still at 300 dpi looks fine but then on other stills in other projects I've seen that be a problem. I don't know what is common other than a non 72dpi for the problematic stills but it seems there are other factors that have an effect on the problem.
I'm not aware of any benefit of higher resolution when working with video
