You were spot on back here.

I've got the same car & mileage!! and have been through the same problem over a 12 month period. Its all documented here with the solution on page 2. (i'm bluehawkeye on this site)

help with 2.5 wrx tapping/ticking noise under load - SIDC Forums

It appears to be a world wide issue, and limited to the 2006 2.5 so must be a specific resonance or batch issue.
