Angry Bubbles in Rainsong Guitar

I recently posted a problem I have with my guitar. I'm looking for others who might have a similar problem.

I have a 12-string Rainsong guitar that I bought used in May. The guitar originally had what appeared to be raised smudges on below and above the sound hole.

In June, I played it in the sun (briefly-- 10 to 15 minutes), the guitar has "bubbled" up. Rainsong denies there is a problem with bubbling, saying they've never heard of it before.

If you do a search on this site, it appears that at least one other person has had a bubbling problem with his Rainsong. Based on conversations I've had with engineering types I know, some sort of delamination is suspected.

The bottom line is that: 1) Rainsong denies this problem and 2) you should know that the Rainsong brand is not weather and temperature tolerant as some Google searches would lead you to believe.

The guitar still sounds good. It looks hell-a-cious, though.
