Headset rust ring

I just noticed a small rust ring at the base of the carbon spacers where they contact the headset. It's an aluminum main triangle, with carbon steerer and FSA semi-integrated headset. I've not ridden this bike in the rain, and it has been stored in the house(of course!), so I suspect it's from my abnormally profuse sweating.

Is this a major problem? It's at the LBS now. Should I be looking at getting a more durable headset?

I have never seen this in any mtn. bikes, or my roadie commuter, ridden hard for years, in winter rain!

Thanks.
