A friend's partner builds Minis at the Oxford plant in the UK. He always laughs at the running in advice, noting that the first thing they do with the cars when they run off the production line is 'red line' them on the test track.
I've never paid too much attention to it. Its not a warranty condition and I don't keep my cars long enough to care about any longevity issues.
