The TSB itself says that the noise isn't abnormal, it's undesirable. A TSB isn't admission of a faulty part. There's been plenty of TSBs for undesirable characteristics on vehicles that aren't broken or damaged, or have any impact on the car outside a bruised ego. Abnormal indicates there is an actual problem, which there is 0 evidence of in this case.
Also, the "consequent fire" you are referring to was a result of poor workmanship and shoddy mechanics. It has nothing to do with the chirping being discussed here.

I think that if you will
READ the heading of the TSB it says "
Abnormal Chirp or Squeak from High Pressure Fuel Pump". Important part highlighted.

In regards to the "consequent fire" comment I made, it was not in reference, obviously, to the poor Lad who had his HPFP replaced and then caught fire due to questionable technician competence. Again if you had read carefully I posed the question "And could it not be an indicator of a future failure and consequent fire?" This was in reference to other cars with HPFP that have had failures and caught fire (VW, Audi).
