I believe this is by design. But owners will hopefully come and share theirs.
I bought my neo Alma BB last dec. Mine do show the orange lining at some areas, mainly at zipper top handle area and the ends of zipper. The bottom piece doesn’t have the lining peeking out. For my bag, you could only see it when viewing from top view at some angles. It’s not very obvious. I do not think it’s a flaw personally.
I purchased my MM last year brand new, and still have yet to use it. I did treat the vachetta with Apple Guard shortly after purchasing, but the bag has been sitting safely in its dustbag since then (on a shelf, not near a vent or anything that I can think of which could cause partial patina).
Question - has anyone experienced partial patina from non-use, on one part of the top vachetta lining? Thanks in advance for all responses.

That doesn’t sound normal to me. I have a limited edition Victorine with a gold button and it’s very solid.
You can clearly see the 2 different pieces of leather trim are completely different. The color on one side isn’t darkening at all. You may want to get your bag re-trimmed and start over.
I bought a Diane, not satisfied because of the “bursting leather on seams” at the bottom of the bag. Returned for an exchange. Waited for another week plus, a new one came in for me. Everywhere else was satisfactory except the bottom seams and now the flap as well.
The leather seem less “torn” than the first one I received. As the first bag had some very big holes and bigger torn area. This second bag I received had “smaller” torn area per seam but it’s more widespread.
I feel a bit disappointed to be honest with the sewing. It’s not obvious unless you put it close to eye level for inspection. The area that is visible (front and back of bag) had decent sewing, only the bottom of the bag had bad sewing.
Am I asking too much or this is really not up to par?

That doesn't look right to me, but that is a problem with bags that have this construction (ie. Neverfulls). I wouldn't accept that Diane.
Sometimes I feel like they pack as if they were working at an Amazon knockoff.
