Well, i agree it's not ethanol content. From reading the tsb's (subaru has 3 revisions, toyota has 2) the root cause is air entrapment in the pump.
I can see how various fuels with different additive packages etc would have different likely hood of producing the needed bubbles at different temperatures and pressures, but i still don't believe it is the ethanol content that is the issue.
Also of note, you will only hear the crickets when idling on DI injectors only. Normally the switch over from port only idle to DI only idle occurs right around the time the coolant gets up to operating temp, but there are times it does not switch over when expected. This is part of the reason they come and go.
