I’m pretty sure the timer itself is driven by the same crystal that generates the video timing in a real CoCo. In my mind, the solution is just to write a driver that corrects for the clock variance.

Roger is now working to get the lower res 32 column screen a bit better on the clock, but even if he does it still will be a bit off.
