I'll split the difference. Like Hammer and Enmerdeur I have split and rebuilt many motors. If it's done right it's absolutely fine. If your dealer is a hack then that's another matter, but I have no idea. I say try to get another motor, easier than dealing with a new bike and you might have the bike set up already. Other than that, I would think you could have any authorized Beta dealer do the work. If it comes down to a repair, and you don't trust your dealer, ask twowheels (Steve) if he does warranty work.
Freak failure, first actually that's been documented. Reliability has been exceptional across the population of 2stroke bikes since the begining.
