Ahhh, yes, good point. I made the assumption that when the coils were pulled, he would have noticed oil, but didn't make the connection that maybe the oil on the spark plug he was mentioning was actually on the external ceramic of the plug rather than the tip in the combustion chamber. Very likely, and would definitely cause the misfire.

This was a common problem on the Taurus SHO as well, 10 years before the LS. Too bad Ford and the gasket suppliers didn't figure out a way to fix the issue before the LS.
