Default Wing dowel charring?

I discovered something strange today during the maiden flight of my Sig Cap 231EX. The wing dowels actually charred slightly due to friction from the holes where they enter the fuse. Thought a Boy Scout was in there starting a fire. Never seen that before. A little lubrication solved the problem but there are still some small (black) channels on the dowels from the incident Has anyone else seen this before?
