Has anyone ever put a Quarq or SRM on a dyno to see if their static calibration is in fact correct?Yes. In fact, I am even last author on a peer-reviewed paper describing the results of one of many such comparisons that I have made: https://www.academia.edu/...mech_1998_14_276-291
There are other peer-reviewed papers performing similar tests.
Although static testing won't reveal all measurement errors (witness the torque spikes generated by the Quarq described here: http://www.trainingandracingwithapowermeter.com/...r-type-from.html?m=1), it is definitely the first place to start.
(Note that back in 1999 I actually relied on a dynamic test of my original PowerTap hub, describing/attempting a static check only as a backup: https://groups.google.com/...mndbKeg/fYmeQBa4ksUJ)
