OTOH, if riding doesn't settle it fairly quickly (usually takes longer with suspension) odds are the seat diameter is large, so it should be corrected, but that's a bridge he can cross when he gets to it.

As I said, it's poor worksmanship on the shop's part, but letting nature take it's course may be more convenient than bringing it back.
I trust your opinion, but I'd probably get it fixed ASAP. Riding with a loose headset assembly isn't good practice in my opinion.
