As a counter-example, Mikuru of SHnY is generally acknowledged to have "moe" despite being very un-flatchested. Moe is a feeling - not a specific collection of attributes.

Moe/Sexualization tends to occur with commercialization. Both aren't necessary the same. Agreed the classic example should be the feelings of protectiveness.
One obstacle I see with RyujixTaiga is that sense of protectiveness of him towards her. Maybe I've just got the line from Genshiken stuck in my head about love and moe being two different things.
Any other thoughts on the latest episode with taiga's behavior? It's certainly different.
