Unfortunately I think you're right. If it does fail I'll get a refund and buy something else like the Bare X Mission drysuit, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Interesting Drysuit problem...

yeah being only 2 serial numbers apart you're going to have the same issue. might not be as soon but it is pretty much guaranteed to happen. Not sure how much you paid for it or what other suits they have, but for the $3k Bare wants for that suit there are better options out there for the money....

The Ultimate Bad Example
As long as they keep swapping out before his junk gets wet that's good you would think they will ship him a new stock one soon.

Two things that nobody pointed out:
1) Maybe his "junk" is too big and is wearing out the material.
2) You do realize, you have to add a Pee valve if you plan to pee while diving.
Sorry, but someone had say it......

True. And I am eyeing other potential drysuits as well, such as the DUI TLS350's and a Santi Espace/Enduro. Mainly depends what my LDS can get.

#1 Is entirely possible.
As for #2, I definitely plan on getting one, although I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary. Your drysuit will just become a semi-drysuit.

I know of three people already with leaky Scubapro suits. They started leaking on most of the seams.
A local suit repair shop taped and glued all the seams from the inside and that seems to have fixed the problems.
Scubapro suits are not made very well in my opinion. Look for something from a cold country.
I dive a Whites Fusion Bullet. Awesome suit! very strong and super streamlined.

It has been a few months since this post was active, but did the OP ever get a resolution with which they were happy?
Reason I ask, I'm on my second ScubaPro Evertec drysuit where the material around the exhaust valve is becoming delaminated.
