I think most people still subtly kick, even when using a pull buoy. My guess is this is a subconscious way to correct for lateral forces generated by the pull. But I will agree that any fishtailing bad enough that coaches and other swimmers notice is probably NOT just caused by a poor kick.
Anyway, I guess I'm not helping with drills to prevent fishtailing, so I'll shut up now :)
