I'm not sure what you're discussing - FPV quads should be able to yaw (when flat) without experiencing any rolling. If your flight controller isn't compensating for the rotation from the motor speed differential, that strikes me as a problem.
When you're moving forward at a 30 degree angle and you yaw, you'll roll a little bit as a result of the motion of the quad, but if you're level and stationary you should be able to yaw spin without any other rotations.
Maybe you could record a short clip from your flight sim and show us?
Here's how it's working for me in FPV SkyDive. Moving forward at a 30 degree angle, and I want to curve around a pole. If I yaw + roll (both sticks to the side) I get a nice turn. If I just yaw (left stick only to the side) I end up looking at the sky.
Yeah, because yaw is in the plane of your FC not relative to the ground. In the extreme, if you were pointed straight down and then used yaw you would end up pointed straight up.
