I am not going into the whole problem description again since people are probably sick of hearing it. The problem is evident and repeated so not sure why the trend is to attempt to search out some other obscure and mysterious cause. It was a manufacturing error for a period in 2013 and that is it.

Thanks, T. Hate to ask this, but would you mind posting a link to your previous descriptions of the problem and/or any changes they made in '14-forward to address it? I searched before even starting this thread, but came up empty. The tech confirmed that I will not be getting the new intake manifold, but has ordered a new short block, heads, cams, etc., along with a TOB and clutch at my request. The service manager could not confirm that the TOB would be the improved updated version, but said that "usually they were very good about staying on top of superceded parts." Is it your belief that the replacement engine I'll be receiving will NOT be susceptible to this issue as my original '13 was? Is there any possibility that the new engine parts they're using are NOS exact versions of my original, prone to the same issue?
