It has been a very wise and well thought over decision to decouple the
astrometric solution form the re-gridding process.
It allows to re-process astrometric solutions, and also to arrive at
global solutions. The plots of residuals of astrometric solutions, using
the input data and not the re-gridded data are formally fully correct
and do the right thing and are not misleading- they do what they are
supposed to show: the residuals of the astrometric solution.
If nevertheless larger errors appear, after re-gridding, than something
else is wrong. The standard way to inspect this is the PSF end-to-end check
