I've never heard of anything like that... However, I have heard of something like this:
I live by the coast. The saltwater will cause rust to grow around the contact patch to the pad. When you drive it will make a thumping noise until it all rubs off. Scared the crap out of me the first time it ever happened to one of my cars. It generally only happens (enough to notice) after a prolonged period of sitting (weeks)...

Could be. Never had it bad enough that rotors had to be turned though. Typically I could drive it for a few (not at high speed though) and it would go away. I suppose you park your car outside?
