But for the ones that don't fully groove the weld doesn't make them poor fabricators, a knifed weld is a perfectly fine and acceptable process, different fabricators all have different specs and processes and judging by some of the **** I see and policy holders breaking down in tears when explaining the whole episode of the DG company I would bet my mortgage all of them would swap a knifed weld for the rest of the crap they were left with
Mullion joint - are they all like this?

The weld isn't dependent on the profile I've chosen. That was an interesting thread you linked to. No real explanation of the cause though. My old double glazing has rubber lips that come up the window. I guess the advantage of that is it doesn't allow any water to puddle. Disadvantage is that is unsightly and you can see it which is why I suspect all manufacturers these seem to have hidden seals.
As many of the threads pointed out other makers see the same issue but his seems particularly bad. Looking at the picture the mould looks to be below the seal to me. If it had been water on the top I would have expected to see a band of algae at the top then the black line of the seal compressed on the window. The algae is all the way down to the spacer. I wonder if it the drains are blocked.

I've seen window where the groover has missed the weld completely and grooved down the side of it or they've had 3 attempts at it
Here's a job I've been to today and it's rehau, it does make me smile when I see this, the fabricator must of thought sod it be alright and just leaves it, shocking really
