I have a Giant 980C and have some bubbling of the clear coat around a couple of the lug attach points. I came across this thread using Google for any information about the issue. I can't find any product recall for this bike, so I'm not going to worry about a safety issue. Note that there have been recalls for 2009 Giant bikes with fork problems, so I know Giant is aware of recall procedures.
