A few months later it seems likely that the press cars were beefed up. Carwow had another video which included a Golf R, this time a customer car, and it got 12.7 seconds.
That's quite a difference from the 12.3-12.4 they were consistently getting on press cars. Sadly that's the only video with a customer car that I managed to find so it's not conclusive by any means. But it's worth investigating in my opinion.
