I'm sure this is just a silly coincidence. I've just been reading Keppler's Pentax Way and there was a comment in there about rewinding film too fast. It mentioned that attempting to rewind swiftly can cause static build up which results in scratch like marks on the film.
I've never seen this and have certainly, on occasion, rewound film as fast as possible but you never know. Besides motor rewinds are probably pretty fast anyway.
If you're not trying to rewind fast this is obviously a furphy (aka red herring)!
