The same freeze plug? Maybe the casting was bad and the hole in the block is too big. Freeze plugs are usually pounded in and held there by friction.

Your car should still be mostly stock right? Definitely get the dealer to take care of it.. Its unlikely you did any damage, but you want to be certain that there isn't a blockage somewhere that built up pressure in the water jacket and forced it out....

Definitely a warranty item though, and they can't deny you on something like this, this just doesn't "Normally happen" and it almost never happens as a result of abuse.. so don't sweat bringing it in.
Not true, have you heard of manfredi mitsubishi? they denied my warranty claim based on my mods....i dropped off my car on thursday and they did not get back to me till tuesday to tell me that they wont be covering me....on top of that they wont even touch the car out of warranty....they said they are afraid they will break something with all my mods...give me a break
