I doubt it's the glue. Titebond III is good stuff. Their cold press veneer glue would have been better though.
I doubt it's the width either. 4" is on the narrow side for veneer, so I doubt that's causing a problem. I veneer much wider around 6" if I can.
I have a feeling it probably didn't get enough pressure when gluing. Did you use a vacuum press? That's about the only good way to get enough pressure to veneer an entire dining table top, especially when using thicker veneer.
If there wasn't enough pressure to properly adhere the veneer, combined with thicker 1/8" veneer, you'll definitely have some lifting/cracking problems down the road with normal humidity changes.
