Fixed. There are AWD non-Subarus that run F/R tires of different circumference. Porsche and Lamborghini, just to name two.

As ripvw said, the tolerance listed in the owners manual is a quarter inch. This goes for the STi and standard WRX, Legacy, etc. Basically, by doing what you did the center diff is constantly working to get the front and rear axles spinning at the same rate. It's a lot like towing the car with the front wheels off the ground, only less visible.
