I heard a bald spot on the back of the head is a common genetic fault that occurs in that specific mutation.

You heard correctly. Reputable breeders try to avoid breeding those birds.

As long as you have a friendly, Healthy, happy bird, Who cares if it is Bald when it raises it's "Top Knot" as i call it...
I had 2, a Pied and a lutino, both are passed on now (17 and 20 yrs. old) they were not bald on top.

Yeah, that's right. Almost all of my lutinos have that bald spot. My grandpa still thinks it's because they're old!
