what if you change the starter, inspect the flywheel and it looks fine but it still grinds the odd time (once a week on average).
i had this problem for 2 years now but it comes and goes, it has gone as long as 3 to 4 weeks without grinding and as bad as 2 or 3 times a day.
BTW i have the Fidanza Flywheel and i have about 30k on it.

You sure it isn't the weird "clattering/rapping" start up sound that some of us have every now and then.

no this the sound you get when you try to start the car while its running " a grinding sound".
i'm familiar with clattering on my 95, it doesn't bother me.

I have this issue on my 00 CSVT. Push the clutch in, turn the key, GRIND, do it again, starts fine. My CSVT has had the starter replaced before.
I ALSO get the chattering noise described to only happen on early V6 motors on any cold start up. After reading that second link you posted Tony, I think I might make an apointment to have both that AND my flywheel looked at, as I have a feeling it's got some chew marks on it.
