Look at it again... it actually appears narrower closer to the top. Also, if it's propagating upwards, what's the explanation for the paint remaining intact over the crack? It's not "stretch" paint. Furthermore, the origin of the crack (if it is actually the origin) is not at the point of greatest tensile stress on the frame (the bottom of the frame tube).
It doesn't change the fact that it should have been caught and repaired or scrapped at the factory though.
