TSX's are known for weak brakes and rotors, why they think that a cars breaking system isn't as important as it's handling I have no idea 
As far as going in nuetral coming to a stop, that is the preferred method because it's always easier to replace pads than replace a clutch!
For a car to be doing that already in those miles, no matter if semi agressive or not, it is not normal, however I would look into upgrading. It's funny b/c with Bimmer's soft pads, and as aggressive as I drive at times, I have only replaced pads once with 60k miles.

Disagree. Sometimes due to heat, pads can leave chunks of pad on the rotors that have a similar symptom to warped rotors. Sometimes you can melt it back off again with some brisk stopping.
What's your definition of glazing then?

If you are on warranty, don't accept that they only resurface the rotors.

I didn't wade through the entire thread, but in my previous experience with Honda and Acura cars the rotors are almost guaranteed to warp after they are turned.
I'm not sure why this is, but I gave up turning them and just replaced them after 60K miles in my Integra. I'd replace the pads as needed, but insisted that the rotors not be turned when this was done. They were still unwarped when I sold the car with 197K miles.
Also, all brakes need careful break-in to properly seat the pads into the rotors. You should avoid hard braking for at least 200 miles in a new car. A hard stop prior to proper seating of the pads can also lead to premature rotor warping.
