Ah, I forgot to mention that I checked that, too, using to the FSM procedure (make sure it rattles, make sure it's got vacuum). It's 100% good.

the o2 sensor is constantly changing between rich and lean. a lazy sensor could be favoring the rich side. ( higher voltage)

Well, I already have the IM gaskets (I wanted to do them anyway, since I figure they're bound to fail at the most inconvenient point otherwise), and I already have seals for the injectors, so I'll do the gaskets and injectors first, but if that doesn't help, I may try the O2 sensor.

I'll look into that if the problem persists.

I did it right after shutdown after a 20-minute highway trip that was preceded by 15 minutes of city. Bone-dry. I assume I can put it out of my head for now?
