I have several hypo and het hypos and three that are from a relatively outcrossed pair are good eaters. I also have a group of neos from Mike and I outcrossing his male #2 (produced from the original pair of hets) to my normal female, all of those are wolfing down as well. I have believed it to be related to the inbreeding for a long time. Remember, Mike's original pair were siblings from an individual that did not supply any history and nothing prior to Mike is known. They could already have been multiple generations inbred.
My thoughts are the eating problems are not directly tied to the hypo gene but were related to some gene(s) within the limited gene pool that results from inbreeding.
