Isn't orange oil lamp a level warning? And technically no its not considered part of a service if there was no fault showing, if wasnt doing it when it left them then theres not a lot that they can do about it. It could just be a really bad coincidence its happened so shortly after.
I know it sounds daft and you might have already done it but check the oil level.
I'm not one to stick up for dealers btw
If the oil level is ok according to the dipstick then it may well be a new level sensor or something

Mine does this just when engine has been started and am sure it's part of the checks when starting
