Since it's on the belly, it looks like a compression fracture to me.  Hit or miss as to whether it could get worse or not.  At this stage (or if it gets slightly worse, or if you get a small cluster of them), it could be saved with a radiused belly patch repair.

can't you sand it down & just rub in some super glue in to it, then re-seal it.

I by no means know what I am talking about.  But have been reading trad bowyers bible and they say the belly is compressing and no splinters, but on the back is the problem area for splinters.
