That mechanic thought they should be covered under the warranty. Is this wear normal?? I've put on a lot of mileage in ~16 months, mostly of the "highway with traffic lights" variety. There are no symptoms of brake wear i.e. noise or uneven stopping.

My 04 EGT is my daily driver. In a year and a half I put 58,000 miles on it and the brakes are just now starting to squeak a bit. Upon my own inspection of the pads and rotors they look good.
I would pull the wheel yourself and inspect for signs of excessive wear. Since driving habits are unique to each driver, I can not say if this is normal wear for your driving style.
