Thus... I would say they are warped.

I would be inclined to agree. Simple test, jack it up and turn the tire by hand. It's not unusual to feel a little drag as calipers float, inner and or outer, depending on the design.
I have worked on cars for 30 years and I have never seen rotors warp from worn pads. I have seen them wear down so far the rotor actuallly shattered. Only from overheat. It can be intentional (racing, riding the brakes, etc.) but more often than not it's mechanical failure. I have had it happen on one side before from a stuck brake caliper piston. But both? At the same time? Never seen it. So it's either been abused (I am just saying it) or you have a defective brake system, probably the release valve that let's fluid return to the master cylinder, but that's just a SWAG.
I agree with the others, something stinks here and it isn't the pads. The warped rotors are a result of a problem, not the core problem.
Good luck and let us know.
