Great example! Needless to say I use Mesh Warp frequently. My design toolkit would benefit greatly from an improved version, so there's a third-party opportunity if Adobe can't manage it!

To Brian's note about people using Mesh Warp.  Another example is this silly project I VFX suped, where text needed to be changed on the big red buttons and exactly match what was shot.  Initially I started messing around with CC Cylinder and trying to match it up, match lens distortion, focal length, etc.  CC Cylinder got complicated and didn't work well for this application.  

I got them matched perfectly in 2 minutes using Mesh Warp:
