My Korg Radias does the same thing and I hate it.
You are completely right Timo.

I have the ultranova and though it's a really nice synth, the supersaw on it sucks and has the peeow peeow thing you noticed. It's a pity.

I am about pushing the button for a King Korg, it would be nice to know if it has the same problem like the radias with the supersaw osc.

I don't notice it in the videos, for example in this one:



but I'll try to ask in korg forums.

cheers!

edit:
Love these supersaws from KK
