A little oil on the back of bolt heads is not called for but seems like a good idea. The whole thing is about not having additional friction screwing up the torque measurement.

That's the crux of the matter. What do they say about re-torquing after initial break in? In my mind I would think the heat cycle would help out a lot in this scenario to get the bolts spot on.
