Either the unit wasn't adequately prepped (deglossed, sanded, cleaned), or the primer didn't hold up.
Did the primer dry enough under humid conditions?
I've never had much luck using water-based primers over stained, shiny wood (varnish, shellac, polyurethane, etc.) no matter how much prep is done. I hate the smell and mess of it but alkyd is the way to go for long term primers.

Forgot to include:
To fix it I would very delicately sand with 220 grit sandpaper.
Then spot prime with original primer, when dry paint again.
Be careful around it, I suggest to my customers that latex paint doesn't FULLY CURE for up to 30 days depending on temp., humidity, air movement, etc.

OOps!!! I only use Zinninser 123 surface primer these days..Did you?? It takes days not hours to cure but when it does..It works!!
Did the bump effect the primer coat or the topcoat??
I have been able to scratch primer coats from shiny surfaces the day after I applied it with my finger nail...A week later I couldn`t.
