Stress in the flux/tube can cause the appearance of crazing (top pic) or flaking (bottom pic) typically in a line. Usually, but not always, it's seen at or near the tube's weld seam. You can see this well in the bottom pic where the weld seam runs up the tube, right under the area circled. Neither of these examples are a crack... yet.
