I was under the impression that the process by which the "Foundation [asks] us to remove it on sight" is a WP:OFFICE action.

Er, no. Stuff does not have to be listed on WP:OFFICE to have been an office action; in my experience if someone from the Foundation asks me to perform an administrative action, I generally do. The most common examples are living biography problems.
Where on earth did you get this idea that every office action *has* to be listed on WP:OFFICE?
It's entirely possible, of course, that someone at the Foundation made an informal request to remove an article. Obeying such requests, I would suggest, is a bad idea.
No, it's how it's done without it being a troll magnet.
Note that I am not a Foundation employee and only do anything asked of me by them because I consider it for the good of the projects.
