The way I read this is the warranty was voided because the filter did not fit correctly an not because of it not meeting specs. If it doesn't fit correctly and lets in more air, then they have the right to void the warranty. That is the same as driving in with the filter out like we used to do when we were kids and didn't have to worry about MAS and other high tech sensors getting thrown off and ruining an engine. I had a new 1965 Ford Galaxie 500XL and talked to Ford about changing the air filter to another style and they told me as long as it didn't let unflitered air in I could use any type I wanted to. And that was before all the electronic stuff so they would have voided my warranty if I drove without an air filter and anything happened.
