I took my R1100 in to get the friction  plate replaced since it had ~41k

They called today and said that the housing and pressure plate  had 'hot 
spots' which indicated they were possibly warped and needed to be  
replaced as well.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on  this for me. Did I 
cause this by waiting too long to replace the friction  plate? I asked 
them to hang on to those parts. What should I expect to  see?>>

You should ALWAYS replace all four clutch parts when  replacing the clutch: 
spring, inner diaphragm plate, friction disc and outer  cover. 

You already saw what you needed: the clutch was  slipping.
