The tire will always compress. It's best to mark a spot on your tire and roll your bike on the ground with your full body weight on it. Sheldon Brown takes this into account for average rider and recommended tire pressure.

You may be correct that the Brompton's wheel circumference could be smaller than 1282. However, since using the 1282 code, the reading has been quite accurate. Do let me know the real wheel circumference when you know.
