When we replaced the BB we were also retapping the bottle cage mounts and a lot of WD40 went through the downtube. All came out very orange and rusty... Certainly nothing feels to the extent of major/flaky rust though. It has been inside for the whole time I've owned it, I imagine that atmospheric moisture is enough to cause a thin coating of rust on the inner surface over 40 years (or thereabouts).
