Lacey,
This look like crazing to me. It occurs when the surface paint has less elasticity than the underlying surface. This sometimes is a lean over fat phenomenon in which a paint with a low oil content is placed over a high oil content film. Crazing can also occur when the paint doesn't properly bond to the under-painting. Unless you plan to scrape the paint off and redo it, I wouldn't worry about it. Many old masters have the same problem.
