Went to Hardie Inglis today and the initial reaction was that the bubble I found was most likely a stone-chip, but upon further investigation he found signs of rust all the way along the seam of the curve where the top tail gate meets the bottom.
He's going to push for a replacement tail-gate, so fingers crossed.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
