I have some doubt to believe that.
Having some basic knowledge in materials science I know that the body is made out of magnesium
alloy. I know that there is no "
RAW" magnesium and that alloy normally does not need any kind of painting to get protection from corrosion or humidity.
Only really extreme conditions (temperature close to the melting point) and agressive chemicals could cause problems with magnesium alloy.
And magnesium oxide is non conducting and insoluble in water. So what problem could it cause on electronic circuits?
Edit:
But if Sony has some sealing leakage here other parts inside the body could react with humidity or sweat or else.
