Even if you do remove the damaged weld and put another run around the head tube then it would need to be heat treated afterwards if the frame is 4130 to get the strength back into the tubing as the heat from welding would have affected it. This would be especially critical at the head tube with the high stresses it will receive.

If you intend to use it in anger i would be very wary. I would only use it for cruising round on unless you can increase the surface area of the weld with a larger version of the plates they put on the downtubes these days. May not be pretty though :'(

It will be fine with a weld.
