This is a sticky topic.

Would it be possible or desirable to include as a manufacturing / design change in the future (to put such a factory edge on the board)? I have done this to all my boards and it did seem to help (especially with beginning / first times out when more board banging happens).

Picture and video links editted. Should be OK now.
Greco, please delete the attached pictures (which are blank now), thanks.

I will need to dig up the original pictures and video and relink. Give me a few days to clean things up.

So if you barely file the edge of the top sheet so its no longer flush with the sidewall will prevent chipping? You only want to take off just a tiny bit correct? Now this won't damage or allow water to get underneath right? Why isn't this done with skis or snowboards? Will it make your boards last longer or is it just for cosmetic reasons? I think I understand the concept I just wanted to clear some things up.

Will chamfering void my warranty?
I'm not too worried about quality as it seems R8s last quite a while, and in a year I'll probably get <10 days on em, but defects are possible.
