My guess is the ring is just a wear item.
It seems strange that Stoptech says they have never seen this before. Maybe everyone they sell to changes out rings far more frequently than we do as they are most likely putting a lot more stress on their brakes than we are.
That being said, it they are helping give a discount on new rings, I'll take them up on it.
