Anyone can f up, but how you make it right is the most important bit.
That is truly appalling.

" Currently, Gibson Custom is willing to refinish any instruments with this issue, free of charge, so these would certainly qualify, should you allow them to proceed. Our understanding is that this is a relatively small pool of instruments."
If so you have to ask why they didn't notice that before applying the finish...

In my experience of nitro, opening a case too soon can lead to checking, but I’m yet to see paint drop off as a result.
Overpriced toss, built by amateurs and sold to idiots by shysters.
3/4 years ago I had such an issue on a New CS Relic Strat - Might be the only instance I had - Fender immediately accepted it as their fault - De-lamination - And accepted it back for a re-fin as required - No questions asked whatsoever
Two can play that game though. Apparently the ML finish is so temperature sensitive Gibson are saying you shouldn't open the case unless they've had at least 5 hours to adjust to temperature. So I'd say they're only good as ornaments, they won't stand up to the rigour of gigging or taking out to a jam.
