Dura Ace track hub with freewheel??

I posted this question over on the SS/FG forum but folks here may have more experience with the Dura Ace track hubs.

I'm going to build (or have someone build) a new rear wheel for my SS/fixie (I ride mostly fixed these days for shorter rides, but use a freewheel for brevets, centuries, etc.). At this point, I'm thinking Dura Ace track low-flange fixed/fixed with an Open Pro rim. My question is this: has anybody put a Shimano freewheel on the DA track hub and does the freewheel body clear the spokes sticking out the the flange? From the pics I've seen, it looks like it would be tight. I know that on some fixed hubs (e.g., Surlys?) you have to put a spacer in with the freewheel to avoid this problem. Thanks in advance.
