I'm hoping to get a printout of both parts "pages" out of the parts list with the long block part numbers.
has anybody seen any discussion on this on Nasioc, or SCCA Forums?

Try ordering a new plastic coolant reserve tank with it's specific part number from Subaru... you'll probably get one of the older/larger metal tanks because they linked the p/ns. My point is, part numbers aren't the end-all method to verify anything.
Hell, I'm running into the same issue w/ the legacy tranny I put into the SVX... everything part number related tells me the tranny is a 4.11:1 gear ratio, but when it's attached to a 4.11 rear-end, the center diff binds, indicating it may actually be a 4.44. If the same tranny with the same part number came as both a 4.44 and a 4.11, who's to say the '07 long-block assembly won't carry the same p/n as the '06, yet have different parts inside?
I'm not saying it's illegal, I'm just saying you're probably better off waiting for things to be sorted (the '07s aren't even out yet!) before making a decision about the update/backdate of the turbo... or since waiting isn't an option, at least realizing that there's a chance you'll end up in SM, or selling that VF-43.
