Well, now I know the answer regarding silicone grease anyway - the IP didn't 
show any signs of leakage the first day after regreasing the o-ring; the next day
the pump was a little damp in places and the third morning the pump had gone back 
to dripping copiously while warming up.  I drove maybe 8 or 10 miles each day.
I thought I was really on to something there for a little while, and I guess I 
did avoid a little fuel loss.

I'll leave it to someone else to see what effect silicone-based sealant might have ;)
