Good eye, yes, the top tube is also bulged.

I don't start work on these vintage frames until I go over the whole thing, sight down the tubes, evey put a straight edge on them.

So, nope, it was straight when it started. The top race was a few mm off of parallel when it started, but I've had that happen before, and they straighten right out.
