If all the electrical bits are OK, it must be air that is flaky (because
the FV try to adjust the mixture). Maybe the ECU and its components are
just doing their job ?

So, my long shot is the small vacuum hose that goes through the firewall
from the intake to the ECU.

Another way of eliminate suspects: 
Maybe you can monitor the O2 sensor via an air-fuel ratio meter (Martin
Pajak will be proud of you, :-)) and observe the FV buzzing and see if
they are in sync ?

Hope this helps,

Louis-Alain
