That is exactly way it happens, at least that what my dealer said. I have known this guy well for 15+ years, he knows his stuff and hes cool with me. He said the Suzuki rep actually told him that the plastic tank DOES allow fuel to slightly seep threw it and causes the damage to the decals. And they were aware of the problem for years and years, and never designed a type of tank shroud to eliminate the issue. Old XR's use to have this issue as well, but HONDA was smart enough to fix it after a short time :D
