Hi, yes it does, sort of. Spent the past two nights mucking with it through an 18mm f2 prime doing a series of simple quick tripod exposures.
At peak focus more stars will resolve, either side they fade out, say an 8th of a turn perhaps. It's enough to quickly do a few shots and check and tweak focus. Over exposing helps reach critical focus during the focus assist function, as the stars will be a little brighter, then switch back to your real exposure settings to drop the shutter.
Funnily enough here is an uncropped more or less straight out of a little X-M1 from tonight, same x-trans sensor and so-on as the X-T1. I don't photoshop my pics and it's probably obvious, oh well..
