So, from what you're saying, the only remedy they've tried that worked (other than swapping pads) was adding grease to the back of the pads?
Yes, that's why when you're more hard on brakes the extra force minimize the vibration. Grease suppresses the vibration and there is no noise. Until Honda or their supplier come up with a new compound combination.
Of course this is also not a very elegant engineering solution like Triumph's ridiculous rubber patch.
You are right also about ABS sensors, but the job of ABS is to use this measurement to modulate breaking as long as you apply pressure on the lever after detecting locking. And friction characteristics plays a major role to the performance of the ABS.
The devil is in the details...
