Is a chipped chamber wall bad? It's not a hole it seems just like a tiny piece of the chamber's colour has chopped of. Can I fix it somehow?

It will fix itself when you smoke it. Just a bit of coating has come off.

Couple of possible issues. 1. Like said, cake chipped off. Nothing to worry about. 2. Possible defect in wood. Possible issue, but can't tell if it will lead to further problem or not. On both situation, keep smoking will cover the area with cake.

Yes a carbon layer will certainly fix that. I tend to get tiny cracks in some of my pipes inner bowls and it is because I smoke a hot pipe and it shatters the briar. It doesn’t bother me, the carbon layer fixes it…

I always enjoy buying a new pipe with no bowl coating at all. Since I don't overheat my pipes, the uncoated chambers always develop a nice carbon coating with no problem, so this missing chip of bowl coating looks inconsequential. Enjoy your pipe.
