FWIW, the dome in Belgrade has similar drift at times. It is mild up to about 5' from the ceiling, then it is pretty severe (this is aside from the four alien abduction suck holes, which is a whole different story).

A lot of people quickly banged across the ceiling and then had to steer before going into the girders at the side.

However, the top flights, including all of Treger's flights that I saw, stayed a healthy distance away from the ceiling.
