it looks like the down tube may curve in at the edge to reach the head tube. whatever it is, it is extremely unlikely that a cosmetic weld "flaw" has anything to do with high speed shimmy. as a search will discover, shimmy is a harmonics issue, and changing one or more parts of the system (which includes you, the frame, fork, wheel, tire, air pressure, stem, rider positioning...) can get rid of it.
