You pretty much figure that in and the sectors that surround the Spinward Marches you'd have more examples than 1 per sector. Ditto the Solomani Rim and sectors where humans/Vargr were transplanted (Vland, Zhodane, Provence, etc.).
FYI: I'm not actually disagreeing with the idea that there is something a bit broken about the Book 6: Scouts-based systems for generating star systems. But as you might gather, my approach toward game mechanics issues with planetary data tends to be more conservative than it is for stellar data--for a reason. Regina for example is a gas giant moon. There's no changing that and if you tried there would be an outcry. I'd be willing to bet however that no one without looking it up could tell me what sort of star(s) are in the Regina system.
