My feeling is that this is really just cosmetic. I don't really see how this could cause issues, but do you think it is worth maybe taking the belt off and fixing it? RA is not perfect either, but much less obvious.
Kind of nickpicking I guess.

Tim if you watch the Celestron video posted online on the website and on CN, you may see the same apparent wobble on the drive sprocket. At the time i first saw it i assumed it was the flat spot on the shaft that is used to lock the sprocket on the shaft with a grub screw, and as it rotates under power it gives the illusion of a wobble.
I would not touch the belt drive if i were you, as you could potentially create warranty issues, if in doubt ring Bintel and report it, or raise a ticket with Celestron Support. I have not taken the plastic cover off the belt drive area so i have not seen it, not sure i want to as my mount is working fine.
