Ok, got a phone call (from a very nice, and polite lady)...The hard start issue is in fact due to a faulty fuel pump. Why the previous dealership told me the fuel pump was fine and within spec, I have no idea, but at least the embarrassing long crank issue will be gone. They will get the pump today at 4pm, and need to keep the car overnight so they can install the pump tomorrow. They told me I had rental car coverage with my warranty, and enterprise would come pick me up at the dealer tonight.

They have been unable to reproduce the rev limiter problem, but I explained to them that it is only at Wide Open Throttle that it happens, so they are currently out doing wide open throttle runs in my car. *cringe* I sure hope this doesn't end in tears.

No word about the headlight adjustment or the interior creaking. I am glad that at least one issue will be resolved, and I get a rental car for the night.
