I backed my 2006 Milan into another one recently and ended up with
scratches on my bumper, door, and that panel in between. I may not try
to fix it, because it will cost $500+. And the damage isn't visibly
terrible.
Still, I'm concerned about the scratches being an avenue for corrosion.
Is that a real problem, and if so then what can I do to prevent
corrosion?

just get it fixed. if nothing else if your insurance company finds out
you have unrepaired damage they will throw a hissy, and really nothing
you could do to inhibit rust (short of fixing it properly) doesn't make
it look even worse.

Well, this one is going to set me back (what with the two vehicles to
repair), but I appreciate your straight talk. Thanks.

On a 2006 car I would definitely get it fixed. Your comprehensive
coverage should cover everything beyond the deductible.

Got it fixed. Second estimate came in a lot lower, not too bad.
