Quoted from Rum-Z:Pooling is not a good term. It's really blistering, as there is air beneath the blister of clear and/or art. It's not a pool of solid material.
This is a more technical term for what you are describing...
BLISTERING: The formation of bubbles or pimples on the painted surface caused by moisture in the wood by painting before the previous coat has dried thoroughly or by excessive heat or grease under the paint.
Edit: it could also be called the following...
LIFTING: The softening and penetration of a previous film by solvents in the paint being applied over it, resulting in raising and wrinkling.
The only way to know the cause, is to inspect the process during production.
