Even if I remain a subject to my Heavenly Father, and continue to worship him throughout eternity, if I also believe I shall receive worship...that seems blasphemous to me. At least one LDS member has publically posted that such is unthinkable, and seems blasphemous too. Perhaps this is an area of speculation, but many non-LDS believe this is standard LDS teaching--that members expect to become Gods.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. If you are like G-d (or G-d-like), how could you be uncomfortable with someone who is not like G-d worshiping you while G-d is quite comfortable with being worshiped by such? I think this is a clear indication that you do not desire to become like G-d.
I believe the only reason G-d asks us to worship him is because it can benefit us in an eternal manner and help us become like him. If you could help someone to have an eternal benefit would you not want such a thing to happen?
