PS, I have had my oil analized on my '01 after 7500 miles and the results are it could go longer...though I don't push my luck :-)
It would sample the oil no matter if it's synthetic or standard. The sensors don't "know" what kind of oil it is, only when it gets dirty and looses viscosity.
Like I said, it's up to you if you want to change it at 7500. I would bet, however, that knowing Honda, you could trust their oil life monitor system.
