Dan, I agree. I'm sure that if there had been any problems experienced by owners relating to this alleged issue, then we'd have heard about them here!
I don't know the safety factors used when designing rear suspension parts, but I suspect that they are quite conservative, and easily accommodate the increased stress on the reduced thread area. And still, you would mostly likely have to encounter an extreme condition to reach max design load.
I'm certain that if there is found to be an unlikely but unacceptable failure risk, then Honda will simply arrange to replace the affected part. And if not, then they won't. Despite what some people may say here, Honda do seem to have a habit of rectifying errors, even though it takes some time to implement.
