I took it to two dealers with the page you showed and other pictures as well.
They both said no such issue existed and couldn't understand why I was asking for my seals to be replaced. One of them told me if the DI seals were gone fuel would be spraying all over the place - I've never been back to a Subaru dealer since and I own both a BRZ and an STI.

I then bought all of the parts and the "special" tools, educated my own mechanic on what needed to be done and he tore it all apart. One of my seals (cylinder one) was completely burned off and the direct injector was so badly pitted that we ended up completely replacing it. I've since bought a second set of four direct injectors so he can quickly swap them once a year and I replace the seals in my spare time.
