Your insurance should help. That is not a normal wear and tear thing.
Call them. make a claim. get rebuild estimates. pay your deductable.
Eat the "depreciation" or whatever other bs they throw at you and get it done.
And continue to make noise about mercury.
They do know when they get bad press on these boards and they don't like it.
They may not do any more but at least your getting the word out.

Man thats a stumper....
You checked about as much as you could to find something, but you say all is norm?
Maybe a valve guide seal is bad on an intake valve.

Just a thought, if both motors are out of warrenty you could try swapping parts (fuel pump, regulator, injectors, etc...) between the two motors and see if the problem follows. Just because it tests good on the bench doesn't always mean it's good to go. Also who was doing the tests... the same guys saying " I dunno"?
Good luck and let us know what it turns out to be.
