Focus Izalco Ergoride Frame Crack, Cosmetic or Structural?

I was wiping down my bike this morning after a ride, and noticed this:



You can barely feel the crack if you rub your fingernail across it. The folks at my LBS *think* it's only cosmetic, but they took pictures to send to Focus on Monday. The crack is at what to me would seem to be a high stress area? Has anyone ever seen a crack in this area of the frame?

The owner (good guy, knows his stuff) tells me to go ahead with my planned ride tomorrow. I'll probably do that, and check the frame at every stop.

The frame is still under warranty, so assuming the worst I shouldn't be out any cash (trying to find the silver lining here. . .).
