I noticed the 'problem' with the rear demister a few months ago and took my car back to the dealer. They said it was the second one they'd come across recently and ordered a replacement dash switch, which failed to solve the problem. I then noticed that the problem dissappeared later on in the day. Took it back to the dealer who contacted Honda UK who then confirmed that the rear demister is designed to come on automatically at first switch on in colder temperatures (seems to be anything under 9 or 10 celsius) in order to add loading to the engine, which then warms up quicker. Apparently the detail was never translated from the original Japanese documentation! The least they could do is tell everyone!
