Vibrate like an out-of-balance wheel issue.

I'm taking the car in for an oil change and once-over tomorrow; I'll have them look at the VSA/wheel sensor.

I can almost guarantee you its not VSA related...I would check caliper function, wheel balance, and wheel bearing, in that order

Had the same issue- it's a sticking caliper.

Follow-up:

Entire ABS computer crapped out. All four wheel sensors were checked, one needed to be replaced. Turns out the culprit was a bad rotor on the right rear. Whole car needed a thorough once-over. Not cheap.

Sounds like a dealer robbery to me. I've never heard of a defective ABS module on any Honda...

I don't know. . . but it clearly wasn't something where there was a TSB or anything of that nature.

Per AP1Driver's statement, I've used this shop before for my other cars, and they've been reliable. However, I do get the feeling that the S, despite living in a wealthier area, is still flummoxing (for them). If I have anything beyond routine done again, I'll pay to have it towed to our (The local S2ki crew's) actual dude.
