Hi Kit,

Hum.  I have a copy of a Leica warranty in front of me, and it does not
state any terms like that.  It only says it is valid for a period of
time...with no other specification.  I'll check my camera body warranty, as
it may be different, or a Passport warranty may be different as well.  I
checked a lense, motor and flash warranty.  Here is a copy of a lense
warranty I have:

I don't see anything in this about it not being honored no matter who owns
the lense, as long as it's within the warranty period.

FYI, legally, you do not have to register anything for the warranty to be
valid, though some companies claim otherwise.  I believe all you need is
proof of the original purchase date, according to US law.
