That coating is normal. I'm thinking it serves two purposes:
1) If the glass were to break, this would most likely keep it together so glass shards are not strewn throughout (Similar to windshield safety glass.
2) To provide a better grippy surface when handling the bulb dome.
I'm sure there may be some other technical stuff about it, but who knows.
