I've never worked with Apple for returns, so I can't speak from experience, but I would call Apple, and just ask them.
That sounds like a manufacturing fault, so I would imagine that it would be covered by the warrenty, but you never know till you get the information from the horses mouth.

If Sony and the PSP are anything to go by it's written into the warranty somewhere - grrr.
Still I only have one tiny black one, but a good few white ones (mostly right at the top out of the way). The main thing is, when playing games (what it was designed for) I cant see them at all!
Hope you can:
i) learn to live with it
ii) get it replaced
Is it very noticeable? I imagine the PPi is pretty large on those screens, so if you can see it from range it's likely to be a couple of pixels together.
Try putting a pixel fixer on the iPod and see if that helps - but don't get your hopes up, it didn't do a thing for my PSP.
