The frays are like strands of hair from an 1/8" - 1/4" long, did not look to impact the integrity of the belt at all.
Glad to hear its normal.

I noticed my belt rides up against the added idler pulley under the compressor snout. The rest of the pulleys seem to have the belt in the default location. That idler has the belt snug against the inner lip and has 1/4" of space before the outer lip. Belt looks fine so far, but I wish it were centered.
