I'm no expert, but that doesn't seem so bad to me - particularly if it's not getting worse...??

Seems like it could have been that way when built, on account of the glue having not been applied to the entire underside of the bridge... And has been that way all along?

I've tested a number of brand new guitars with big fancy names on the headstock that could have a slip of paper started in several places, the same way as your picture shows...

If I knew more about the history of the guitar and could handle it I might think otherwise but imho you could leave that and see how it does or fix it if the customer is willing to pay for it. It's amazing how long bridges that look like that can hold on. IT almost looks like it's been reglued before and if I could determine that case then I'd probably pop it off and reglue it.
