Hi Jeffrey, good question. Both twinning and NCS may couple reflections across free and working sets, and this should be avoided by proper selection - otherwise Rfree is biased towards Rwork. Selecting thin shells should be a good option, and can be done in SFTOOLS (or DATAMAN, or SHELXPRO).
How much does it matter? Actually I started to search the literature after reading your question, and expected that one of Z. Dauter's papers would enlighten me, but until a minute ago couldn't find the one(s) that I thought existed. But I found Fabiola et al., Acta Cryst. (2006). D62, 227–238 which is relevant for the coupling by NCS. Ah I just found Smietanska et al., Acta Cryst. (2020). D76, 653-667 where they indeed selected thin shells.
