Or you could just have a worn fret there -

shouldn't cost much to fix though - at best you're talking about replacing what, one fret?

This is what has me nervous. The frets look fine.

check with Leonard...

nearly cracked the headstock of my les paul clean off, and he was able to repair the neck without replacing it...

The fret may be from a defective lot in terms of the actual height of the fret. It may also have to do with the fret slot on the fretboard or neck being mis-machined. There also could have been a little bit of debris in the area where the fret is installed. A little chunk of saw dust in the area could raise the fret, let's say .015" - .030" higher than the rest putting one area out of tune.

Just a couple ideas especially if the fret appears visually ok. Take it to a professional.

Rock On

hijack -
I went to change my strings the other day and my bridge pins were all f'd up. They were all cracked and instead of being stiff you could bend them until they just broke in half. WTF? I've had this guitar for a few years and have changed the strings many times. Any ideas how that happened?
