The May issue of Sport Aviation, page 97,mentions first  flight problems
and claims "one pilot, mistakenly added synthetic oil in the premixed
fuel for a two stroke powerplant. The reduced lubricating qualities
caused the engine to seize up after about two hours".
That seems to fly in the face of some the rotary engine statements I've
read.


That is what 2 strokes do. I doubt it was the oil.
