Question Cracks in dots on fretboard?

I received my NOS 30th Stingray via UPS from GC, and upon close inspection I noticed a few of the dots on the fretboard are cracked. :( As the dry fretboard needs a good application of oil, is the cracking a result of the dry rosewood? Is this indicative of a major neck problem, such as warping? Can this be fixed relatively cheaply?
