One of the framebuilders who post here will be able to give you a better answer, but if it were my bike I would drip a little epoxy in that gap to help prevent water from getting in there and causing corrosion. I suspect that there is enough area brazed together to ensure that the seat lug doesn't detach from the tube.

I would also see if I could find the washer that belongs under the nut on the seat post clamp so that the nut doesn't continue to grind up the lug.
