I do seem to recall that my 04 Accord, like yours, occasionally idles at
about that speed when it's cold. I'm not so sure that it happens all of
the time though, or when the air temperature is within a certain range.
When I do gradually take my foot off the gas and pull away, I do get
a surge of acceleration sometimes.

I'll keep it in mind over the next few days, and report back to you
on whether or not this occurs all of the time, and the idle speed.
