I know the J Mascis, Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore Jazzmasters all came with 12" adjustomatics with a 9.5" radius neck in the case of the JM, and a 7.5" radius neck in the case of the LR and TM ones.
I've played the JM and the TM ones and didn't find the difference to be an issue.
Dan Erlewine is right - the string height above the frets needs to rise as you go from the top E to the bottom E, so the bridge radius needs to be slightly larger than the fingerboard radius - I find about 25%-33% larger is ideal.
If you have the bridge radius matching the fingerboard, the middle strings will be too high.

If you can adjust the saddle heights individually you will find that Dan Erlewine is right.
