It's bizarre that the noise is gone. The difference from your first video clip to the second is dramatic. The second one sounded like someone was operating a hammer-drill in the background.
This is sheer conjecture, but is it possible something in the oil blocked a passage temporarily causing the noise, and it's now open again? Or, was there a difference in where or how the bike was parked between videos, and something was resonating in the second and not the first?
At least you don't have too much to worry about. As you said, it's documented, if it blows up you're golden. Hell, maybe you should go ahead and torture-test the thing for us and find out how many miles it'll do at WOT in first gear!
