Jim,

  I think you skimmed over an important qualification of Dave's comment:
... The worry to me here is that with the
TB at the other end of the runner,ie close to the port,

which exactly fills this part of your analysis:

... I think carb ice is pretty much always associated with fuel sprayed into a venturi, and the injectors in our application are always downstream of the "venturi" formed by the partially open throttle.

But wouldn't that be true of ANY injectors placed a significant distance from the block?  I think carb ice is pretty much always associated with fuel sprayed into a venturi, and the injectors in our application are always downstream of the "venturi" formed by the partially open throttle.
I wouldn't worry ... Jim S.
