The effect of additional filtering can be a little tricky to analyze
sometimes, but the exponential averager, the normal 1-pole low-pass
filter, is however well-understood when the cut-off frequency is well
above the normal PI-loop bandwith. K*4 seems to pop up in my head.
It's a hint which comes from experience of others as well as myself.
You can also look into the Stanford Research PRS-10 manual, which also
optionally have such a filter in it's PPS slaving mode.
Cheers,
Magnus
