Yes, I have seen a video of the engines being bench tested/ burned in. They also take every so many units off the line and take it around a track if Im not mistaken.
I did donuts in a wet parking lot the day I received my vehicle and thankfully nothing mechanical has gone wrong since that day in April 2012.
I think they just want you to be conservative at first so if there is any underlying issue at delivery at least you run less chance of major damage. It is to protect the manufacturer as much if not most likely more than the consumer.
You are all welcome to call me out on this as I am hardly an automotive engineer. 
Congrats on NOT being a first year adopter. Read the history books about crickets, taillight leaks, window seals, and other fun stuff that keeps the enthusiast actively involved with his dealer. Don't get me wrong, I love this car!
