I would think this might throw the entire rotating assembly out of balance...but I may be wrong.

i think it could do some kind of damage in the long run, but most of my motors had chips on the pulley

my pulley was chipped like that as well, although a bit more. i didnt need that groove so i just had it machined down at my local machine shop. worked great.
