How does the dye identify where the leak is coming from in this case? If it's coming from the rim of the pan which is just slightly higher up than the plug, it isn't going to be a different color because of that...

It's a common-enough issue that many folks on here have reported that they found at least some of the bolts in the pan not torqued to spec. Might be worth calling in to the dealership and asking "for a favor" - ask if they tech could double-check that the oil pan bolts are torqued to spec while he has it in the air.
