Dempsey I haven't noticed bridgetop sections with this, but I have seen rusty sections where strings are in contact with felt/cloth like between agraffes/capo and tuning pins. I wonder if in high humidity conditions the felt/cloth doesn't retain the moisture long enough to allow the corrosion/rust to occur, and possibly a nice fuzzy layer of dust might not serve to same function atop a bridge? Just a thought.
