I'm not sure what the true tax effect on fund buying is either, but that has me less concerned than the potential for a portion of social security funds going into the market at some point in the future. Not only would it provide steady buying pressure but it would be hyped by the talking heads like crazy.

I suspect the fund tax delays may not be as important as you suspect. Not all funds have a 10-31 year end, this would only be an issue to taxable entities (not retirement accounts), many fund managers are trying their best to eliminate or reduce capital gains in light of poor performance for the year and people have to know about the tax issue and act on it. I'm not sure how many people in the total universe of fund investors are aware of it.
