I have a symptom similar-feeling to what you're experiencing, but at a steady-state cruise mode. I think as long as your vent line is not becoming a restriction when bypassing a lot of fuel back to the tank, it shouldn't be affecting the FPR function.

I would think that monitoring fuel pressure and the wideband would tell you a bunch here. I can't imagine a fuel pressure / flow problem at "steady state" that does not show up worse at WOT
