My question is, what do you do about the little pucker in the binding that occurs at the "v"?

You can leave them or hand stitch them closed. Heather Mulder's site does have really good tutorials.

The pucker that I get in the V I just leave. It settles in and adds to the charm of the quilt. I love scalloped borders so have done quite a few of them. I've had the need to sew them down.
