2.) My sound gradually diminished starting about 4.5k miles. I can't get it to tick anymore. The car appears to be driving fine. No strange idle behavior, and starts up fine.

3.) I thought my engine had started to vibrate much more btwn 1200 and 1700 RPM (say sitting in neutral and reving to that RPM). I went to the dealer and a car on the lot had the same characteristics. So I guess it was (is) normal and had nothing to do with the ticking.

Yup. I think that's it. I'd love to hear what folks find, though.
Thanks for the update. I've got the tick you're referencing and it is very apparent on my car. Am at 3100 mi. I'll keep you posted with what I hear.
