Yes, but that looks to me like something that happened during the removal of the plastic covering the die. Remember they use hot acid to do this. The die only survives that due to the passivation layer (SiO2, meaning quartz AFAIK). Unfortunatly, you can't cover the bonding pads with it so depending on the tolerances the damage there might just have been some acid getting where it shouldn't have gone.
