Gelcoat problems with new 08 210

Has anyone had any trouble with gelcoat bubbling? I have two right behind the rear tower mount on the driver's side. One has already cracked around the circumference of the bubble. It's going in on the 17th to be repaired and dealership doesn't seem to think that it is too big of a concern. Should I be more concerned? Both are about the size of a thumbnail.

I haven't had any trouble with bubbles, but mine came in with spider cracks on both sides where they were very careless putting in the ballast tanks. The dealer took care of everything though. Be glad it is in the white, it took about five different sprays to match correctly. Each time it didn't match they had to grind a bigger spot than before. Someone must be asleep in quality control, because it was the first thing I noticed after we took the plastic wrap off.
