The yellowish hue is caused by, if I recall correctly, a bonding agent for the screen. Because the first batches are getting shipped straight from the factory, there isn't enough time for it to fully cure. It should cure and the colors will cool down in the next few days. The same thing happens at every launch.

If this is true, what's a reasonable period to wait for the screen to become uniform before insisting on a new one? Is there any data out there supporting this issue, or how long it takes to resolve on its own? As long as Apple will agree to replace my iPad outside of the typical 14 day return window, and recognizes this as a defect if it doesn't go away, I've got no real problem giving it several days (weeks?) to resolve.

Thats not true. The glue only leaves little yellow blotches on the screen, it doesn't make the entire screen yellow. All the screens vary a little. If your screen is "yellow" then try playing a movie on full brightness for a few hours and see if it became more white after that.
I don't know why people still say its glue. That was only a minor problem on the iPhone 4 and it went away most of the time.
I had a few yellow tinted iPads, nothing including wrapping it in a towel removed the yellowThat's definitely been discussed and people have seen de-yellowing after 3-5 days.
Somebody even accelerating it by generating as much internal heat as possible ... found the thread:

YMMV.
Mine is a touch warmer vs. my 3rd gen, but very uniform and not "yellow".
No. The glue only creates little blotches on the screen and does not make the entire screen yellow.

Did you look at the link I posted? I think it's safe to assume that this iPad uses a similar manufacturing process as the most recent iPhone 5 rather than the 2010 iPhone 4. It's also possible that the blotching (that's a weird word...) was caused by uneven application/drying of the bonding agent.
All I'm saying is that this is a more reasonable explanation than massive, widespread QC failures.
