After another lost day to a second non-functioning fuel pressure gauge rental kit, I got to retest with a new test kit today. I think I did my first test of the fuel pressure incorrectly. The FSM does not say, but I now think I needed to be running the car when I tested the regulator. With my second new regulator installed, I ran the engine and tested. All pressure normal. Longterm fuel trim slowly returned to normal. I cannot retest the OEM regulator, but I also can't say for sure it failed the test I thought it failed. I also replaced the fuel filter, since it is maybe 4 years old and I had the assembly partly dismantled anyway.
I'm going to drive the car, with the new, more restrictive, WAI removed so I can see if the problem will return.
If the problem returns, I will know to check for vacuum line leaks too.
