I love really dirty music (grindcore, pv, noise), so I've become accustomed to feedback.

the feedback i was referring to in this thread (which i eliminated by changing to a different pickup) is not the cool sounding everything-cranked-to-eleven kind of feedback. it was shitty microphonic pickup garbage. i have no problem with
intentional feedback. i listen to plenty of harsh music. i just want my shit to be controllable.

Did the builder replace it?

This.
That sounds like an undeniable defect...

no...but bought it secondhand, so he doesn't really have a responsibility to me (other than the good name of his company).
i was a bit surprised he didn't offer to have be send it to him when he replied to my email.

i was able to fix the issue. i added some additional compressible foam around the magnet, and that was enough to kill the vibrations that were causing the howls. it's sounding great now.

Glad it's better, but here's what I WOULD'VE written:
Did you mount with springs? If you did, try replacing the springs with surgical tubing. Yup, surgical tubing.
It makes the pickup vibrate less.
