It's true, have seen it before as well, tip or other tests it may leak slightly, and once heat cycling a few times from running it doesn't leak in use.
I don't offset the parting lines of seal either, have never used the 1 piece.
I like the rope-type seals and have install of those down to an art. But those are not recommended with a crank that has no serrations.
