Would a very small negative crystal (only seen with loupe) compromise the integrity of the stone when it comes to being set, i.e. is it weaker or is it not of concern?
No. I have set lots of spinels with bubbles. I even set a spinel with a bubble towards the edge. The important thing is to have a good jeweler that knows how to properly set stones other than diamonds.
