That's interesting. Try measuring the wind when you get a warning, using ATTI drift hover. I'm sure you'll see what I've seen, most the time it's under 5mph when you get the warning on a calm day. There have been times with it's truly windy, and it warns immediately of course, but when it warns when calm on the ground, measure it at altitude with ATTI.
In the firmware settings the two wind warnings are clearly set to 6 and 9, not 7. The question is the unit of measurement. I never deal with this issue anymore because I've bumped mine up to 30 and 40km/h.
I'm not sure I understand all of this, but I assume you're using the GPS-based speed over ground with no stick inputs to derive a wind speed. If so, that assumes that the P4 is acting as a perfectly efficient sail and moving at the same speed as the wind. I believe that may be the difference in your and Meta4's experience. As for the hand-held anemometers that @AuldGimpy reported using, the question is whether they were at the same altitude as the bird. From the description (flying off a bridge), it may have been. The OP reported flying at 300 ft. where wind can be much stronger.
Appreciate all the contributions... this is an interesting discussion.
