I was only able to drive about 20 miles so far but aside from the throttle relearning the car seems okay for now.
I didn't hear or feel any mechanical issues before the fix aside from the occasional idle hunting so I don't have anything to really judge yet, but the car did not idle hunt at all on my drive home (which it would mostly seem to do only after the car was fully warmed up).
I will update if I run into anymore problems.

Because I'm a dope, I posted the above originally in the TSB / Recall Megathread but it really applies more directly to this thread...
The P000B code is already back on my car, but the car is not idle hunting at all and actually running very smoothly and without any other apparent issues after the updated dealer reflash. It seemed like it was running fine prior to the dealer reflash with the exception of some idle hunting but now that's gone and everything feels even better than before. The slip light is also not staying on it's gone off and stayed off and I drove about 60 miles today with the CEL on and SL off (previously it would go off for a few miles then kick back on for 30-40 miles).
I didn't mention this in the previous update because I didn't think it would be relevant (and probably still isn't) but in addition to the reflash my dealership tried to say there was too much oil in my system and that was causing issues. This of course is total bunk...It was about 5000 miles since an oil change when the CEL originally popped up and only 300 miles after my most recent oil change when I took it to the dealer. I've taken my car to my dad's shop for every oil change and watched him fill the car up every single time (5.8 quarts per the owner's manual and the Alldata system he uses at his shop says the same thing).
The service rep tried to say the car took 4.5 qts (but in his defense he didn't state this for fact and said he would confirm with the tech), but he came back and said the tech was saying that he THOUGHT it was 5.2 qts (says 5.2L/5.8qts WITH filter in the owner's manual so simply could have been a disconnect but that's very unsettling when this is your job and you're passing along info that you aren't 100% sure about). Regardless, the reality is there is not too much oil in the system.
At this point, my dad said he's just gonna take a look at the car at his place and try to figure out what's wrong and we'll go from there.
01/30 Update: My CEL turned off all by itself driving to work this morning and stayed off for the entire ride home. My dad said he would still take a look at it but as long as the light's staying off he wasn't gonna go crazy with things. I'll post another update if it comes back on and I have to do anything else.
