I read that saab note, and it has nothing to do with ep or any deposits related to gear oil, as you suggest.
It simply says frequent gear oil changes are needed ( I disagree, as do most other oem's that use gear oil in trans and/or differential, esp synthetics ) and this makes it more likely for normal 'wear particals' to get moved to where they can damage bearings, etc. I think this would be as true for frequent 10-30 changes in the box.
This particular 'saab' person, of unknown competense, also stated motor oils are good in the gearbox since they put wear particals in suspension in the oil ..... wrong. This is only good if you are circulating all the oil thru a fine filter, as in the engine.
again, this is just my opinion, an engineer practicing in related bearing and lubrication fields ......
