So, what I was saying was what Subaru was saying. However, I was just searching on the part number. If you go to an online Subaru dealer and search for your own vehicle, you'll get the right part and the supercession probably. Either way, here are a couple of screenshots with some additional info that might help. The first one was the result of the search for the new part number, the second one was the search for the superceded part number. It's almost hilarious how they showed up.

So when the BRZ parts fiche says:
Part Number: 23769AA040
Supersession(s): 23769AA110
It actually means that 23769AA040 is the newer part, and 23769AA110 is superseded.
So when I went in and gave the old part number 23769AA110, the parts guy accidentally ended up on the forester parts fiche where it says:
Part Number: 23769AA111
Supersession(s): 23769AA110
So he then gave me part 23769AA111 which is compatible with the forester, but doesn't fit the brz - even though the original tensioner must have fitted both the forester and brz.
On the upside, while i was at the dealer I did pick up some much needed new wiper blades, and replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner was way easier than expected. So not a bad day. And I learned always to triple check my parts before driving away from the dealer.
