How bad is this damage to the chainstay??

Looks like maybe it's from the chain popping off and being ground a little between the frame and the chainring? It's the only blemish on an otherwise gorgeous bike.

I can't tell if the chainstay is actually dented or not either - or if it's just the cutaway to accommodate the inner chain ring? The gouges seem pretty gnarly - but I'm hoping it's mostly superficial enough that the frame is not compromised. Thoughts?
