Not really - I thought it's supposed to wear like that for core line.
I did contact them about the more expensive ones going apart after a couple of months and got offered either a replacement or 40% voucher of what i've paid for them.
I chose the latter but in general I think i'm done with Rapha bibs. Maybe it was because of the fabric - it seems to be a very interesting fabric on cargo bibs - not something like usual lycra, something more durable, maybe that's why the seams wouldn't last long.
It says on their website that core cargo shorts contain 82% Polyester & 18% Elastane while premium cargo shorts contain 71% nylon & 29% elastane.

Didn't realise Assos have cargo shorts.
Last time I checked they didn't. Just bought them, thanks!
About Rapha's cargo bibs: I have both core ones and brevet (?) ones - the more expensive ones.
Core ones started going see through after a season - thankful for my friends for pointing it out. The more expensive ones started basically disengaging after I rubbed off the stitches in crotch area (took me a couple of months).
The colour also faded out quite a bit. So basically now they look like something i've had for a decade.
