I dropped by an authorized dealer and had a guy from the service center take a quick look at my forks, he said he thought it was OK for now because it was all a margin above the little line of dirt/gunk that shows the highest point above where the dust cover has recently touched (that line goes away and comes back when I occasionally wipe down with a microfiber cloth). He said if it starts to be a problem lower on the tube to bring it back and look into warranty coverage on it.
The guy there was pretty nice and helpful, I asked him some things about the valve check (like if he would recommend going to the workshop to learn to do it myself rather than paying the service center to do it) and he said it was a pretty good idea. Normally I figure you'd expect these guys to lean to the side of trying to sell you their work even if you don't need it, so for that they get a thumbs up in my book!
