Don, I agree with you on those points. However, I have found a change in the current RepROM (for camheads and hexhead) from the previous one (hexheads only).
As I said before, BMW is now specifying the SAF-XO for both the FD and gearbox. I think the reason for this is that they are now specifying the gearbox oil change at 24k mile intervals instead of the previous 12k. I looked up a 2007 R1200R and it does indeed specify every two years or 40,000 km for gearbox oil change. The FD remains at every 12,000 miles or 20,000 km.
So since this is their new specification, I will be following it and buying BMW's stuff while under warranty for both my FD and gearbox.
