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!
The location between the first video and the second must have been only off by maybe a foot, 12 inches, as I parked it in the same place I let it warm up. Took it around the block one time the second time I fired it up and did the video. The first time I noticed it I rode it about 15 blocks and it was there.
Who knows, maybe the rode it the three miles in first gear WOT!
I do know I will be starting it and riding it around their building when I pick it up and like I said if the noise is present they are keeping it to fix it.

Funny, no I didn't tell the bike that. I did tell the bike though it would be getting some accessories this year and some good road time!!!
