I called and spoke with service, and explained it as a "spike in my RPM after a cold start". Two seperate service managers asked me about the transmission slipping, but neither seemed concerned, and both suggested waiting until the 5,000 mile check up (I'm at 4,300).
It doesn't have to go all way to 4, that seems it would depend on how heavily you normally accelerate.

Since you are so close to 5k service looks like no harm done at all waiting till then.
