Yup. It's possible but unlikely. The OCV isn't actually a valve. It's an actuator more closely related to the arm on a hard drive or a speaker. A voice coil accepts a signal to drive a pin which acts on the spool valve in the middle of the camshaft phasor. It's possible that it could fail slowly by getting weak and it's easy to verify but given your circumstances, a partially plugged oil passage is way more likely.

I wonder if I have any leverage when the dealer claims they had nothing to do with it? (service manager already tried to minimize the possibility a service tech botched something) Does it help to call SOA or anything?

I seriously doubt that it will go that far. The correlation is a no-brainer. Don't wait for it to ruin your ECU by permanently throwing it out of whack. That's real.
