Mine appears to be doing the same thing.

Any pics of the finish flaking off?
I've seen this on only a few trigger bars over a few generations of many. After the surface finish breaks, steps occur in the base trigger bars. When this happens, the older guns round drop safety detent wouldn't change the trigger pull as much as the newer non round ramped drop detent. Any damage, excess wear, attempted polishing, etc, of that interface on the trigger bar makes that worse. Trigger bars are cheap and easy to replace in the few circumstances that I have been presented to for the few issues for this.
Picked up my new Gen 5 19 w/ Ameriglo Bold sights last night. I didn't notice until I got home that the front sight was canted every so slightly to the left (rear sights were aligned) to the point where I could see a little of the writing on the right side of the sight in the sight picture. Luckily I have a Glock front sight tool, so with that and a little blue Loctite, I got it to where it looks straight to my eyes. I'll find out this weekend how it shoots.
Also, what's the deal with the new trigger spring? Is it in the trigger mechanism, or is it replaceable individually?
I have the Ameriglo Agent sights in my Gen 5 17. Nice sights, low profile with a serrated rear. Both front and rear are etched with date of manufacture ala Trijicon.
Note, the rear was absolutely the TIGHTEST fit I have ever encountered and it definitely requires torque with the sight pusher. I oiled the dovetail first and it was very tight.
Re: corrosion / trigger bar finish
I rebuilt a department issue Gen 4 17 of one of my SWAT officers who resigned recently. The trigger bar was entirely discolored with almost a brown patina, the trigger spring was corroded, the FP spring was corroded and rusty.
There was some surface rest in the FP channel and EDP channel.
Although not flaking off as described with the 43 (although Ive noticed it on my 43) it was the first odd corrosion that was unlike any-other non typical "rust" ive seen on duty guns. Almost like battery acid corrosion ....very odd
Albeit expensive, Glocktriggers.com highly polished OEM triggers would alleviate such problems. However, Glocktriggers has not yet received all of the Gen 5 trigger parts from Glock. I would suspect they may, within the next few months.
