That's exactly it. It's not (usually) a problem in aeroplanes because the roll rate is lower than it is on a tilting train and you're not generally rolling this way then the other way then back again. Except when it's turbulent and then you're being bounced around a bit anyway. It's interesting (and very useful for simulator manufacturers) that as long as you get some sensation of movement to go with seeing the movement, and as long as the feeling and seeing are synchronised, the amount of movement felt doesn't have to match the amount of movement seen. (Simulator visuals leading or lagging the movement even by a fraction of a second are a recipe for technicolour yawns!)
Back in my gliding days I remember one flight with a very experienced cross-country pilot who kept the glider perfectly coordinated (no skid/slip so no lateral force) and so you didn't feel any rolling -- but you saw it, just like with P- and E- trains. After an hour or so of aggressive thermalling I felt a bit queasy, but realised the best thing to do was close my eyes and lean my head against the headrest for a few minutes, and my brain would think we were travelling in a straight line. 10 minutes later I was fine.
As for lazy reporters, clearly they're not a new thing!
