Your explanation fails to address the line going across the DS crank that is clearly more than just varnish.
You explanation that part of it worries you also does not mesh with your statement that it's only film and varnish. If part of the crankarm is worryingly damaged it doesn't matter if part of it isn't, the crank arm is still worryingly damaged.

It's not a given that the crank will fail but the damage has to increase the chance of failure.
By how much, who can say.
All I know from personal experience is that there is risk of injury when a crank or in my case chainset fails, and for that reason keep away.

A bit of sand, water and a large shoe/booty (or just a loose flap) makes that happen quicker than you'd imagine - a bike with too tight of a tire clearance on a really dirty day can eat through a chain-/seatstay in no time.
With that said, I'd pay nothing for those and use them as much.
