I don't think it makes a difference unless you've got the Subaru diagnostics tool that can tell the ABS unit to activate while you're bleeding. I've never really worried about it because as long as you're flushing once a year or so you'll eventually get that fluid swapped out as the ABS gets used over the course of the year between flushes.
However, I do wonder why Subaru stopped putting bleeders on the ABS block itself. My SVX has one bleeder at each caliper, and two on the ABS, so I'm sure I'm getting all the fluid flushed! But I've also never had any issues w/ not flushing the ABS on the WRX, and I've punished the brakes on that car far worse than the SVX will ever get punished.
