Update,
I thought why fool around, I'd just get the dealer to do a between service interval oil change, and be happy. No harm except to my wallet. So I did that, but the oil level did not budge from the 1/2 mark after they were through. I drove the car 50 miles that day, and also did the oil check on level ground per the manual... still at the halfwy down to the add mark, no change I was about to go back to the dealer and complain. Next day drove to work, still no change. Then after 120 miles the gauge reads full, and has remained there.
Expected behavior or malfunction? Who knows, others have mentioned delayed reaction of the system to adding oil. Dumb system in my book.
Cheers. Be cautions with adding oil as folks have pointed out here and elsewhere
