I seem to get noticeably more dust/grime from the front disk brake on my
right wheel than the left ('05 TJ SE). Any cause for concern? If yes, is
there a particular thing I should ask the dealer to check?

Cheers,

That implies the calipers are not sliding evenly. The salt here can do
them in fast if they don't have a good coating of antiseize on them. It
is really common to see just the inside pad worn out up here in the salt
belt.

I'd surely point it out to them. I don't worry about my brake dust
unless it turns from black to a little brownish showing it making the
fake brass rivet contact. I wish we could use unvented wheels again, but
that's the only real advantage disks have over drums is heat
dissipation.
