Anytime you have reverse taper it is a flaw. That said, what tree, especially a wild collected juniper is without it's own flaws and unique character? In this case, I think this tree's flaw, from what I can see in the picture, is the epitomy of sabi. It's part of the tree's character.
If you don't want it, put me in touch with the tree's owner, I think I can make it a good home.
