The corresponding functions f_u(omega) and f_v(omega) are estimated using the vacuum-insertion approximation. A numerical analysis of various B->X_u+l+nu decay spectra suggests that these power corrections are very small, below present theoretical uncertainties due to other subleading shape-function contributions.8 pages, 2 figures; minor revisions and figure added; version to appear in Eur.
