Kind of strange that the bumper rust began to show only months into your ownership. Is it possible the dealer who sold it, or whoever pawned it off on them, applied something to the bumper to hide an existing rust condition?
That said, the terms of the warranty aren't off the wall. This is standard on all auto warranties. A part has to die/fail completely in most cases before they'll cover a repair/replacement. Merely being on life support and gasping for air isn't enough for them.
Make sure you don't face a catch 22, where if you let the bumper deteriorate further to perforation, they don't then claim you were negligent not to arrest the condition.
