The frame looks fine on the inside, not pristine but definitely not anything I'd be concerned about, the locations of it are also weird because it's not in the 'normal' areas-even above but not around the bottle bosses themselves or mid-tube on the top tube. The only thing I can think it may be is tiny pores in the powder coat itself caused either by bubbling or debris that's allowed moisture to penetrate.
On the head tube especially there's just no reason for the frame to rust up like that unless water is being drawn up or through the coating and when I sent it off to be stripped and sprayed it wasn't because there was rust but rather because the frame colour was (imhop) rank and tatty.
I dunno really, it's a strange one. Best buy a new bike I suppose?

What does the inside of the tubes look like? Is the rust coming through the tube maybe?
(I have no idea, this is not a leading question).
