Sorry, I know that's not very helpful, just 30 years of bike wrenching talkin'!

What might be helpful is that I had the same situation a few years ago and did the same routine you're doing. Turns out the PEDALS were the culprit!!
I agree w/ the Doc. My brand new 3/8 torque wrench is on the shelf collecting dust as I hardly torque anything anymore, you just get a feel for how tight it should be. However, if you get ahold of FSA, ask them if the torque specifications are with the bolts dry or lubed, thread torque is affect by lubrication. BTW, what type of torque wrench do you own? Clicker, dial drive, beam? If it's a clicker, make sure to unwind it all the way down to it's lowest torque setting after each use. For all types, it may miscalibrated.
