I've not seen that previously. Wondering if it could have been full of water and frozen? Water can get into the stay via a vent hole in the seat tube, but I think the lower end of the stay is water tight.
What are you going to do with it? I suppose you could ride as is and keep an eye on the damaged area. I might try making a patch out of 6061 and bonded with epoxy.
The problem with welding is that it would soften the weld area/heat affected zone of the tube. Guessing that it wouldn't be a problem on the seat stay though.
How did you build it and what's the intended use?

Too bad about the split as it's in pretty nice shape. Guessing it's good for a lot of miles though.
