Alcohol does evaporate extremely quickly. But if it was trapped in the injector I don't know how it could have. So it may have just sat in there slowly deteriorating over time.
Those injectors were pulled out of the 350 in perfect running condition. After I put them in my 370 one was seized and the others sounded like hell. So loud that I thought I had valve tap and it idled like garbage. Not because one cylinder wasn't firing either, the engine was stable. Ordered a new set and it ran perfect and smooth.
Charles, when do you plan to pull a plug? I might check mine over the weekend.

Could have been corrosion from the fuel lines? They say high ethanol content likes to break down and corrode rubber. A lot of people upgrade their fuel lines to stainless braided to help with this issue.
