I was just polishing the Bongo in preparation for a Bassworld get-together tomorrow and I noticed that the coating is starting to flake off the neck. Has anyone else had this happen and what can I do to stop it?

That's a new one on me.
Maybe Jon or Dargin will check in over the weekend.

That's it exactly. If you catch it with your finger nail it comes off in fine strips.

I've had the same thing happen on my black sapphire Bongo. I just sand it smooth with fine steel wool and call it a day.
