Shimano C24 wheelset causing flats

Hi all,
Need some advice. I got the c24 from Colorado Cyclist in April. Put on about 800 miles on them with no issues. Love them. Great on downhill and very stable in the wind. However, just recently I've gotten 7 flats in 3 rides. The tiny pinholes are on the Wheelset side and always in same location. Right on the strip that covers a spoke. I put a strip of tire tube over it and in 5 rides over 200 miles no flats. I know it's the Wheelset. I called Shimano. They told me to bring wheel to lbs and get a new strip. What should I do? I have a warranty, it's definitely the wheel and I can't feel anything that's making holes in my tubes. But i marked the spot and put a piece of tube on it..no issues since.
