No, whole assembly is moving together. There's little play between the body and the cog.

Closer inspection (or not posting from memory after midnight) shows the wobble to be only a mm, if that. It looked so obvious and surprising, I exaggerated unintentionally.

Here's a video:

Note that the inner freewheel (a Dicta) is steady, so it's the ACS freewheel, not the axle.
