It certainly sound plausible and I imaging moisture wicks down the cracks where the spokes meet the rim. To try and reduce this happening on rebuild I did tywo things: liberally coated mating surfaces with Bilt Hamber Dynax UB which is an anticorrosion wax which sets quite firm. Found some 0.1mm thick stainless 7mm shim washers and put these under the heads of the bolts, the theory being that the bolt head wont be twisting on the surface of the "paint" and hence is hopefully less likely to crack it. I guess only time will tell!

Split Rims ,,,,, separate parts,,,,, bolts, more holes, ,,,, moisture will always find a way in,,,,, like everything else just a question of time. Unless you you weld the whole lot as a solid and do a 2 tone paint job,,,,,,,
