Do you mean that nasty rust gribble in the seat stay ? Those things are usually a sign that they will break out elsewhere soon!It looks as though there is a small rust hole in one of the downtubes to the back wheel which will surely weaken it very significantly?
No I mean the visible rust hole right near the bottom of the thin down tube just above the cog-set, in fact the entire area down there looks to be very scabby!!.Do you mean that nasty rust gribble in the seat stay ? Those things are usually a sign that they will break out elsewhere soon!
Do you mean in the blurry photo #4? All I can see there is the front derailleur cage (out of focus) and some shadows. I can't see any detail of the lower end of the down tube in any other photos.No I mean the visible rust hole right near the bottom of the thin down tube just above the cog-set, in fact the entire area down there looks to be very scabby!!.

Or if by "the thin down tube just above the cog-set" you mean the tube nearest the camera in the same photo, then that is the seat stay as Illaveago says - the "down tube" is the tube from the headset/fork down to the bottom bracket/pedal area.
Yep, that tube is called a seat stay.I am but a simpleton (i.e. thick) when it comes to fine detail bike matters so please excuse me for being misleading. But in the 4th image, which in very sharp focus, you can see just above the back wheels cog-set and chain you can clearly show bubbling/scabby paint and also what must be a rust hole.
