Urban legend. Toyota techs actually had more experience on the FA20 in the 86 than Subaru did, since the engine was unique to the BRZ/FRS and Toyota received the vast majority of the builds.

The issue was sloppy techs not following directions, similar to what is being seen now where the robot is applying too much RTV. It happened both at Subaru and Toyota in GEN1.
