I suspect that this is an endemic feature of your brake/fork combination. However, you might want to have a different shop take a look at how the caliper is adjusted for pad centering and angle.

Also make sure the rotor hardware is tight.

Have you checked that the bottom of the head tube is not distorted?

No, it hadn't even occurred to me. Would it be oval were it distorted?

Probably ovalised front to back, it could also be stretched but still mostly circular. It could also be that the lower edge is no longer flat, because the front and/or back has been pushed upwards.
