It wouldn't surprise me for a new engine to burn a bit of oil as it broke in. As LesH says, 1 quart in 4K miles isn't out of the question for a new engine. I've had engines that used a quart every 3-4K for the first 15K, then dropped down to no useage thereafter. I've also had engines that used no oil from day 1.
The scary part is that it went 8K miles without checking the oil.
