Yes it could have been dangerous if it started cracking. Light scratching probably not a huge issue though.
In terms of the company you could ask them but generally I would hone it out first when I am building depending on the builder. If it were a custom frame that I bought painted and finished I would probably say yeah maybe the builder might get a call but for a mass produced frame I would say yeah probably not a bad idea to hone it out and check it over before building.
