Tallboy with DA FD-7800 anyone?

I'm expecting a Tallboy frame.
On my Air9 frame I use a Dura Ace FD-7800 double derailleur and Speen adapter with thumbie shifters on Pauls adapters. (in use on a double chainwheel 36/22)
I like the crisp and instant shifting of this combination and the secure chainguiding.
Did anybody try this setup on a Tallboy?
Are there clearance issues?
I have an XT derailleur that I used before the Dura Ace.
However, on several ocasions it allowed the chain to fall over the big chainwheel...
