Dave,
Try a search of Rick Turner I recall when he was a regular contributor to frets.com a few articles and gadgets he published showing tension/torsion effects and counter measures he devised -- if memory serves I took it all with a grain of salt.

It was the addition of the Popsicle brace that they hoped to control this splitting after thinning the neck block . Also they changed the traverse brace from 3/8 by 3/4 to 1/2 by 5/8 . Not all changes were for the better .

Re: Finally starting to brace my first build
I'll look it up from Rick Turner, but I've got to believe that what is commonly accepted at this time is probably the best overall approach and that is what I will do.
Thanks for the input.
