I haven't yet taken the crank off and pulled out the bottom bracket, but I suspect the threads on it could use some grease. I'll be doing that within the month.
Yeah, Having pulled the BB I can say you suspect correctly. I think they may have wafted it over the grease tub before installing, but that's about it. And don't forget to back out the cable guide screw before you pull the BB.
