Its very strange that you got two units with the crack though. I guess you ended up with the same batch maybe for both? Its definitely not normal and I'd have done the same thing as you and sent them back for replacement.
It may not have been clear in my original post that the first unit must have developed the crack over time -- I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it at first.

The support fellow asked me if I thought it was possible the second unit (the first replacement) suffered the crack in shipping. I suggested I thought that unlikely, given that the first unit (the original) wasn't cracked when I first received it, yet the cracks were identical.

P.S. If I'm reading the serial number correctly, my unit is a B006.
