More than a rumor I think. *My recollection is that it was

accerolemeter values on one of the data pages though.

It would be interesting to know what they did and if there is anything
used for gust filtering etc.

The accelerometer (or one axis of it) is used for the slow flight
warning, as can be demonstrated by playing around with the glider near
the low-speed threshold.
