yep I would go so far as to say its the same issue and yep it changes with speed almost rotational related but what... They did have mine for a few days and did 100% acknowledge it but also said that MG didnt have any known "recalls or knowledge articles". Again they said they thought steering rack and said they pulled that apart but couldnt determine anything. I too have to trust they did what they said. There was one online article where I think someone said wheel bearings was their cause and that had it not been fixed would have got worse until failure. As I said mine has done 55,00kms and is no better or worse and remains the same.
It is minor in the scheme of things as you say but I am also curious.. Perhaps something touching aka a cable tie
, but after 55,000 kms you would think that would have worn away 
. Mine has remained the same and consistent, harder to detect above a certain speed and more noticeable at slower speeds. Probably still there at higher speeds but road noise cancels it at least to my hearing.. If its any consolation there are quite a few with that same ticking sound so maybe a batch or two? who knows. I also suffered from the vibration issue around 100kph and even after they rotated wheels, I rotated wheels for tyre wear, they said they did a wheel balance etc, etc from new, that has finally been eliminated when I did my first tyre replacement.. so looks like the original Bridgestones were the cause of that all along.
