I only had one speed-bump of significance in the Merchant Princes books set in the Boston area, and I lived (exurbanly) in the general area for 4 years. I don't remember the dialog being un-American (I'm bad at accents though).
And perhaps more to the point -- Charlie knew that was risky, and made efforts to have the book reviewed by Americans. I wasn't one of them, so I don't know how much stuff was caught and fixed :-). The story to date seems to suggest that Connie Willis didn't care enough to make that kind of effort.
