I can easily slide this one off the pump sprocket - seems to me it should be tighter, although my experience with MFI is limited and it caused no problems prior to me noticing it.

They don't slide "easily" off the sprockets when they are new. There really is no adjustment, just a new belt. Cog type belts only slip when the cogs are worn, or the pulleys are worn. The belt won't jump off unless something is terribly wrong. It should be difficult to pinch it together at the center.
