It sounds like what's happened here is the laminate is beginning to separate from the printed dust jacket. I haven't heard of any specific Archives that are affected by this -- in fact, I'd say this is probably the first time I've ever heard that any of them had this problem. (DC's "Joe Kubert Library" Tor reprints seemed especially susceptible to this problem, though, over time.)

Given how vocal people here tend to be about that sort of stuff, I'd say chances are you don't have much to be concerned about -- it's likely a problem you'll only see with that specific copy of that book.
