In fact I think it's perfectly flat. If it's installed in a plane that doesn't sit perfectly level, it will create a low spot lower than the drain. Not much of one, but I guess enough to puddle a drop or two of water. See http://www.andair.co.uk/pdfs/GAS02.pdf So, yeah, I think it was from water not being drained, but I'm not sure it was possible to drain it. Another thought is that the cup may have had a defect in the anodize that allowed the corrosion to take hold.
