Where do you draw the line?
No some DME's could be totally clear, obviously more mile is greater chance but YES that would be fraud if your missed shift caused damage that you tried to get them to fix for free under warranty.

Or is there a back alley way to clear it?
There are ways of clearing the over-revs without it being logged or showing up in any way. The Porsche dealership isn't required to clear them, I've seen situations where they have and where they haven't.
