But does a unit not gain some "research xp" or some such in addition if it is just hanging around doing research?

Don't believe they do. Researchers I keep at home studying never gain levels very fast, and I've never had one go past two stars. But they do gain experience faster if they get involved in a skirmish or two.

OK, I assume they don't then.

I have added XP into the picture now - of course assuming that the units are doing nothing but researching from the day they are created (in a real game this does not have to be so of course). The extra XP not surprisingly give an advantage to low cost/low research level researchers in the long run compared to higher cost/higher research level ones.
