according to the bentley, if i remember correctly, the acceptable range is 159-188. giving a few PSI variance in compression testers, i would say BP is fine with that high one.
i did a compression test a few weeks ago on the M54B30 that is in my parts car, and got these results: 171-174-167-170-170-180 PSI (cylinders 1-6, respectively). so he's good, especially for 252K miles - that seems like a very healthy motor. mine listed above has about 112K miles on it.
notice my cyl 6 reading was the highest, too... oooooh....

According to 02Pilot, it is caused by ring flutter on deceleration.

The solution posted here looks like the way I want to go. Thanks for the link!
It would be more ideal because it can utilize the factory system without having to spend time installing a catch can and subsequently having to empty it every so often.
Reading one of the comments blew my mind. The guy said he was using a quart every 1000km... That is an unbelievable amount, and is similar to what I was consuming. He said it completely resolved his consumption issue, and said 3 others reported the same results!
