Well just as a bit of closure to the thread and hopefully something that will help somebody else out in the future, the oil filter was changed (as suggested by Honda) and the light hasn't come on since so I think a dodgy oil filter must of been the culprit.
I also just want to clarify that the cause of this/the problem was absolutely nothing to do with Billman's TCT
Thanks guys

Good stuff, I'll take the points!! 
But really, I'm glad you have it figured out, having the oil pressure light come on, even for an extra second, can be quite alarming. It's nice when it's something relatively simple and inexpensive to fix. Out of curiosity, how long/how many miles did you have on that particular filter? Billman, speaking of which, question for you regarding oil filters. Do you see any problem with running an OEM filter for a year, as long as the mileage is low (less than 3k/year)? I'm trying to figure out if there is some correlation between time in service and this oil pressure issue. My rationale was because even the Honda manual says yearly oil changes are OK under the "Normal" schedule. I realize on a daily driver it's safest to go by the "Severe" schedule, but I was trying to move over to yearly oil changes since I put so few miles on the car each year. What are your thoughts?

If you mean before I did the oil change, it was a yearly service because I only do about 6k miles a year
