Lets give them a benefit of the doubt. It might be just part of the warranty process, or quality control process. OP did mention that this is a new reg less than 1y old. May be an SP certified technician can shed a light here. If (hypothetically) SP does want to get this sample to understand whether its a QA issue they would want it back before any technician disassembles it. Who knows may be OP will get a new reg as part of that process 
It is official now, you have super mental telepathy and know everything and can tell what's on people's minds across the world based on few words on online forums!!!
The OP wasn't trying to get people attack his LDS, he was looking for more opinions on why his regulator was doing what it was doing. It would have been much more helpful and informative if people had thoughts on what the problem may have been instead of unfairly attacking the LDS.
@halocline response was a legit answer from a highly qualified tech.

Jajajaja. This has been my more enjoyable thread. Just to establish some facts:
- I sent the video to my LDS
- my LDS sent the video to SP
- LDS told me that SP requested them to run "a more specific test", so I need to take the reg tomorrow to the LDS
Will keep you all posted. But definitely, I am not accepting anything less than a fix or a replacement.

You would of never known, good on you for testing it yourself. Now you have a baseline.
The mk25 is notoriously drifty in my experience as a tech. The seats in the kits are hardly ever perfect and require close inspection before use. Any imperfection on the piston sealing surface will cause a lot of drift or creep. This is a high performance first stage but is very fussy. Keep in mind the end user will never notice some IP creep but as a tech it can be very frustrating. IMO if you want a seriously stable balanced piston but an Atomic.
