I'd definitely talk to the shop about it. If the fork was brand new the value has been reduced significantly by their carelessness. I don't think the structural integrity has been compromised but I'd want some adjustment to the cost and/or a replacement.

BTW, there is absolutely no valid reason to use Red Loctite to install a crown race on any fork, ever.
