Seems to me it would be just as happy with a square wave as a sine wave. Don't know the answer, just wondering out loud. I also don't know if all switchers have the rectifier right at the ac input.
My palm tells me a brick under the influence of pure sine wave is a happier, cooler brick than when being fed chainsaw shaped modified sine wave.
