Yeah, that would probably fix the problem.
(I don't really take them as picking holes, I was sort of cranky the day I said that )

A lot here depends on whether S decides to treat the hand as balanced or as two-suited reds. Also, I notice that our system notes are unclear on the start 1♦-1♥-(1♠).
If S decides to treat the hand as balanced:
2♣-2♦ Weak 2♦, OR weak both majors, OR GF both majors, OR 20-23 bal/pass-or-correct (weak)
2N-3♣ 20-23 bal/modified 5-card puppet Stayman
3♦-3♥
3N end
If S decides to show both reds:
1♦-1♥-(1♠) 16+, excluding GF/0-7, denying weak takeout
2♦-3♣ Natural, denies a semi-solid 6-card suit/natural, good hand for the 1♥ response
3♠-4♦ Establishes a GF/3-or-5 CPs (A=2, K=1, ♣Q=1)
4♠-6♣ 8+ CPs, second-round ♠ control/To play (no chance of double-counting K/singleton)
This auction is a little murky, as it may be that 3♠ asks for a stopper, and it may be that 4♦ agrees diamonds - so this could go wrong. We might play 6♦, for example, which would not be disastrous on these hands but could cause problems on a bad ♣ split.

The second auction did have the 1♠ overcall, but I'd misformatted it. It's because of the overcall that 3♠ is definitely a "let's choose the right game" call. It may agree clubs. I'd need to ask Matt what he thinks would happen here!
I think we would not intend to treat the S hand as balanced. There's about a 15% chance that we would do so, based on the singleton being an ace, the weakness of the ♥ suit, and the flattish distribution.

P - 1C; (both hands show 0-7 or 17+)
(1S)
Further bidding isn't discussed very much, so this is barely guessing:
Dbl - 2C; (take-out, 17+ -- 0-7 and natural)
2D - 2S; (extras and natural -- artificial GF)
3C - 3H; (some support -- cue bid (5-4 would probably bid 3H instead of 2S))
3S - 4H; (cue, slam interest -- first control)
4S - 6C; (first control -- if partner has slam interest even though I have no diamond control...)
I might be biased because I see both hands though. It is possible that we end up in 5C or 3NT.

1♣ - 1♦ (1♠)
X = extra hcp or 2 places to play - 2♣ = 5+ hcp and ♣ -
2♠ = 1 round force - 2NT -
3♣ = Beta - 3♦ = 1-2 controls -
3♥ = CAB - 4♣ = A♥ -
6♣ All Pass

How many clubs does this show? and what is the response with 0-4 and clubs?

We play Herbert Negative over take-out doubles, so responder would rebid 1NT with 0-4 hcp with any amount of clubs, and would show the clubs, if appropriate, on the next round. Thus 2♣ is semi-positive, but opener could pass with a minimum.
