You know, the full-sized plugs float around in the socket. The snug-ness of the micro USB connection might prevent damage to the actual pins? Just a thought..
Hoever, on 99% of devices, microUSB port is soldered only to surface of PCB, where roughly 70% (from practice, not scientifically measured) of miniUSB ports were soldered through holes in PCB, and definitely 100% of normal-sized USB ports are made this way.
In fact, it's the "demolition" you have made inside case - under camera space - that shocked me more, than a "outside look" of Your device.
Another approach would be to cut some of unnecessary plastic from under secondary board (one with camera flashlight and microSD), and run cables through there.
You're planning to add power-mat to device, for wireless charging?

There is less risk of damaging stuff by cutting off casing plastic, which is essentially inert, than by removing material under a board that must stay in its position if the camera is to work properly. I could have placed some tape or something where I cut the casing plastic away, but I don't particularly care how the device looks when the back cover is removed.

Despite this, no problem with 1250 mA going through those small pins, completely 0 problems.

Just a little aside. I measured my Nokia AC-10u 1.2A charger. Slit open the cable--stuck a Fluke meter in between. My charger maxed out at 650mA. I just had a feeling it wasn't actually charging a li-ion battery at or near 1C almost exactly 0.5C. I made sure my battery was well discharged before I measured.

That will be the charging controller in the device, not the charger.

I just want to say the tolerances on the micro USB ports I've used (nokia ones) are very close. The fit is very snug. So, maybe in those mating cycle tests there is the understanding the mechanical purchase one might have on the socket is taken up by the socket rather than the interface as is the case with bog standard full-size USB ports. You know, the full-sized plugs float around in the socket. The snug-ness of the micro USB connection might prevent damage to the actual pins? Just a thought..
