The performance, economics and politics of ethanol aside, I'm told it's the formation of the byproduct formic acid that reeks much of the havoc with plastic, rubber and metal components in our fuel systems.

PS - just how this is prevented in fuels like E85 is a good question - perhaps some chemical stabilizer?
