There was discussion of this in the past. I believe it related to the source 
of the lead. Manufacturers used whatever was cheap, including old printer's 
type, which included an impurity which may have been antimony, which is the 
culprit. I'd knock it out and replace it with better lead, even in a cheap 
piano - it doesn't take that much longer than shaving and sealing it, and 
won't recur.
