My thoughts are the same as yours. The design of the intermediate shaft, a hollow tube sealed at one end (the oil pump drive end), with a bearing at the other can only serve to force a small amount of engine oil through the ball bearing seals washing out the grease every time the engine warms and cools. There's no way the grease can remain in the bearing for very long under those conditions.
