It could be chalked up to the cages/straps extending a bit lower than the pedal.

How common is it to need to adjust pedaling style for slight tilting of a road bike left or right?

I have no need to do this on my hybrid or the cyclocross bikes i've tested. I had no need to do this
on the M/L frame. It only seemed to be an issue with the M frame. I thought that was odd...
The bigger bike may have had longer crank arms which would increase the likelihood of pedal strike. Also, clipless pedals tend to really reduce this problem.
