Thanks everyone for your comments. This makes me feel a bit better. I'm confident that the adhesive under the EPDM was done correcty, and the Eternabond as well, so I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed for now and see how it looks in the spring.
Huntindog - maybe it's just wishful thinking but your explanation is in line with what I'm seeing. The temperature was in the upper 40's when I applied it, but dropped to the mid 30's at night. Also, the bubbles only exist on the "outer edge" of the seal, where the Dicor comes into direct contact with the EPDM. On the "inner edge", where the Dicor is in contact with the Eternabond, it's nice and flat. If your explanation is correct, then perhaps the Eternabond prevents that part of the membrane from absorbing spirits so bubbles don't form there.
Thanks,
Mark
