I went in for my 1 year service today as well, at Mossy Nissan Oceanside. 6580 miles on the odometer. I dropped it off at 8am and got a call around noon that the service was completed and I could pick up my LEAF. When I got there, my car was washed and vacuumed and I learned that the service was free of charge ($0).
They did: Multi-point inspection, battery check, firmware update, and wash/vacuum. The inspection report was the standard form with "n/a" marked for the appropriate items: Fuel tank cap gasket, clutch operation, muffler/exhaust, engine oil, fuel lines, engine air filter, etc.
Battery check, all 5 stars for charging, driving and storage. I typically charge to 80% daily for my 16-mile roundtrip commute on weekdays, and 100% as needed for driving around town on weekends.
There was no mention of replacing brake fluid or cabin filter, and no tire rotation (I had actually requested it done at my 6-month service after hearing about all the tire problems on this forum, but my tires have been wearing normally and evenly). Tire pressure adjusted to 36 PSI on all 4 tires (which I will readjust to 40).
Can't tell yet what if anything has changed after the firmware update. I did not receive a new owner's manual from the dealer, but not sure it would fit in my tiny glovebox anyway. I downloaded the revised 2011 LEAF owner's manual in PDF format from http://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/nissan/pdf/techpubs/leaf/2011/2011-leaf-owner-manual.pdf.
