Some classification on the issue. I drove it around again yesterday and it's not just that it "stays" at the Rev. The pattern is shift up, revs go up by about 1-2k for 2 or 3 seconds, then they come down to what it should be and the car drives normally until I shift again.

Half quart one way or another isn't a problem. Unlike a conventional inline-four, the oil takes a while to dribble into the pan. Wait an extra long time before checking the dipstick. I think the owner's manual recommends five minutes.
If I read correctly, it sounds like your clutch may be slipping. Let's clarify that.
