Always find these threads and everyone's points of view interesting. I recall many years ago going to the local Toyota plant and watching the new cars coming off the lines. Fluids pumped in at the end and final check done then the car is driven straight onto a rolling road for the final 'driven' test. It is then ragged to an inch of it's life before being driven off for the leak test. The way the drivers drive the cars from there to the parking lot is a good laugh too.
This is an engine that is run in at the factory for 1 hour in total before being placed in the car.
Keep in mind this is for Toyota's, the most reliable sewing machines in the industry.
Keeping this in mind, I wouldn't be too bothered. Engines are built to such tight tolerances these days, there's really no need to bed them in like the old days. I had a new car many years ago, drove it like I stole it from day 1 and it went on to cover over 200k miles and never had to replace or repair anything on it other than routine servicing. When I sold it, it was still running strong and not using any oil.
