Sometimes the PH of the dye is a little on the acid side and doesn't get completely nuetralized in the rinse process. You will see this same phenomenom on some of those lovely Aeolian uprights where the spring rail felt contacts the butt springs and they are breaking like crazy. Time, moisture and a ph below 7 make for oxidation, given enough of any of the culprits. The best bet I've seen so far is the Protek CLP advice you've been given several times. Judiciously applied, it will not migrate and will likely solve your headache immediately. A few drops at each unison should do the job.
