I've not had a problem with such seals.  Occasionally, I do have an issue with some black seals though.  It's when they feel tacky (as in slightly sticky) - like they have been treatewd with something.  This was mentioned on the WCA course I went on but I can't recall the substance that they are treated with.  Anyway, it's unusual.  I only have two places like this on my entire round.  I compromised by doing ground floor the trad way.

Couldn't agree more, those windows with oxidized seals a re a real pain when done  trad, you have to be so careful not to get it on the frames, particularly when detailing.
With WFP it doesn't seem to have any effect at all ;D

And I personally do all of the frames and sills with WFP, and always do the sills, even on frames that have oxidized.
