Probably... not much else it could be. Still, if it's really "1/4 quart" that's 8 ounces, a full cup. You must have used a lot of assembly lube
funny had a 467 SBC with ..oil pressure problems. Pulled pan to check bearings pan and pickup had sludge. Cleaned out replaced pump used AMSOIL problem solved. The motor is 15-1 and the guy uses Q16. i have seen this fuel and alcohol cause engine oil to break down and sludge. Avgas i believe could be a problem also. That motor runs 8.80s in 3200lb nova. Freshened after 150 passes and the motor was clean. Some race oils can be a problem also. The first oil in that motor was Brad Penn Alcohol can do much the same as you have seen to real synthetic oils. You have to be careful with off the shelf oils because they are blended to keep costs down and fit many as many types of fuel and combinations.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I have found the same thing , sludge like coating on the bottom of the pan. It surprised me at first then thought about it. I figured it was the assembly lube settled out. Cleaned out the pan and bolted it back on. I have also noticed with the intake off a certain RED cam / lifter assembly lube just wash right of as the engine was being primed and turned over..
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I had that in the pan before and it was metal wear from rocker shafts one time, and the pins in the roller lifters the other time....
Fixed the issues and the black sludge went away. I was and still am using Brad Penn oil.
Also left a nice black ball on the magnetic drain plug when I pulled it out.
