If that straightedge was resting atop the frets, and the neck relief was reduced to zero, OP's concerns seem valid from this distance. If OP can get the guitar to a luthier before his return privilege expires, he might be comforted or alarmed, depending on the conversation with the luthier, and act in his best interests.
This post emphasizes what sometime evades us: Guitars are machines, and no matter how pretty they sound and how pretty they look, they need to be healthy machines first.
