I tried it around the C#/G# tone hole, 4,5 days ago.
It was pouring rain today, very humid.
Today the lower trill key filled up with water , the C# key was fine. 1974 R13.
This is simiilar to what happens when I use a bit of bore doctor oil around this hole. It usually helps for a few weeks, then I have gurgling C# issues again. Whether or not this new oil is better in this regard only time will tell. I'll report back in another few weeks.
I haven't had time to do the side by side tests described in the original post ; hopefully I will this weekend.
