EDIT:

I cut the tiny red / top track next to C9 rather than cutting the track on the bottom...and soldered to C9 pad.

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~

Is Eagle meant to pick this kind of thing up?

Sometimes it does, then other times not. But the routing tool doesn't seem to see inner layers and shorts stuff out which I don't always notice. Other times when I am routing on a inner layer and there is a top layer track, it will refuse to route past it, like it thinks its all on the same layer. A lot of these bugs have been around since several versions ago.. Then autodesk bolt on new features.. which are buggy as well... @Icky has a collection of rants from me about bugs in Eagle.

IMO Eagle is fine if you want to do 2 layer small boards, but start getting larger and multilayers, it just can't cope. Its got bugs in version 7 which are still in version 9.. and as @Icky knows, I found that many new bugs in V9 I just can't use the thing full stop. Now they bolting fusion360 into it all.. I am just never going to class Eagle as a pro tool anymore, its not even a toy anymore.

I really would move to KiCad if I had the patience to start over.. but better the devil you know as they say... Though I don't know if they listen to bug reports or not anyway.

@exxos As soon as PCB H5 you have. Did you fix any mistakes before shipping? will everyone have to do it themselves?

I really think you have something wrong with your DRC setup. Do you have all the clearances specified for the inner layers?
