Dear Ole,
Very true, and the figures are almost never given nowadays. Either way, for pan/hyperpan films, it's seldom more than 1/3 stop.
Of the figures I've seen, more are faster to daylight than tungsten, though T-Max films seem generally to go the other way. That still doesn't alter the fact that 'sensitized to tungsten balance' is effectively meaningless when referring to monochrome.
Nor does it alter the fact that filters lighten their own colour and darken their complementaries. Different shades of green may be unpredictable; but take green foliage and brownish earth (or indeed brownish tree-trunks) and green or orange will lighten the one and darken the other.
Cheers,
Roger
