Flaw in paint..should I ignore it?

Allow me to rephrase. As my statement was too broad.
Very often, there's USUALLY no paint there, on 1 or 2 does at least. It's not limited to, but more common on certain colors. Tuxedo black its very common to see lack of paint there. Green gem as well. But I'm not saying that I've never seen full paint there on those colors.
Very common on others makes as well

So got a call from the dealer just now. They will be providing me with a loaner car while my truck gets repaired next week. It's a 2013 Fusion. Next week is supposed to be very rainy and they understand my mustang is a garage queen and didn't want it out in the rain.so they are pulling a used car off their lot for me to borrow.

Nothing wrong with that good to see they are taking care of you. When my wife's fiesta was In getting a new trans they gave us a brand new Eco boost fusion loaded. It was an awesome car and hard to give back lol

While I have seen it on many of these trucks, in my close to 6 years at Ford... I've probably only resprayed about 3.

Trucks in the shop. Went to pick up loaner..no go. Apparently they gave it to someone else..so looks like I'm driving my mustang. Fine by me as it's sunny. She will be getting new paint next anyways, well next summer. So excited to have her redone.

Correct. Before purchasing my 2013 I checked several trucks on the lot because I had read about this, all had varying degrees of unpainted areas under the doors, just primer. LOL my sales person denied it, he said I was seeing a reflection, the sales manager told him to stop being stupid its primer.
They agreed to paint that area for me to close the deal BUT when I spoke to the paint guy he said two things that changed my mind. First he would have to paint the entire door, I didn't like the sound of that. Second he said the bare primer would be no problem because its epoxy paint, it won't rust, the color and clear coat is just for looks. I opted to leave well enough alone and got some other free goodies in exchange.
