The pump is a less-than $200 part and can be done yourself with relative ease. I'd say buy the pump yourself and save hundreds of dollars.

Is this a common problem? Know of any threads with some pics on it?

Like az3579 said, do it yourself. It's pretty easy.

Can't believe they charged you $180 for diagnostics. Except for recalls, I would never take my car to the dealership.
If you don't want mess with it yourself, at least find a good indy shop.
Woah wait, so the SAP pump is bad - and this would cause your car to not run? I had no idea that the SAP was that important. I would have totally guessed that it was the fuel pump.
I don't believe your sai is to blame for your no start. My guess is you'll be stranded again in the near future.

Let the dealer replace the pump and have a two year warranty on the work. If part fails within the two year period the dealer will replace the part under warranty. As much as people hate using the dealer, there are advantages in that you have a two year warranty on the work they do.
In the past I have had rear wheel bearings replaced by the dealer only to find out one of the bearings was defective and the dealer got another set and replaced both sides under warranty. That's why on some work, I use the dealer
I agree, that is a benefit, but any reputable indy shop will warranty their work as well and it will cost much less.
Almost all parts store online give 2 year warranty (in most cases) on their products, with FCP you get lifetime warranty. You should be covered in any case.
That pump is $256 at FCP compered to $987 with replacement from stealership, DIY seems pretty straight forward.
All comes down to personal choice, but I know which route I would go.
Seems to me that I have seen more than a few ZHP's that are being parted out . . . problem solved
