It is of no concern. Facing the BB shell is simply cutting a very small amount of metal off of the ends of the shell so that the two faces are parallel to each other. It makes the bearings run smoothly with less wear and is a standard procedure.

The fact that the frame is carbon fiber has no bearing on this. The BB shell is going to be metal (most likely aluminum).
