Sure.  Anything that causes the face of the flywheel or pressure plate to
rust.

Here in "it never rains" California, it's only happened to me once; probably
brought on by using a propane torch to help remove the alloy flywheel.  The
heat removed any traces of oil on the surface, and the moisture from the
flame promoted corrosion.

I started the engine in gear and let the car move (with the pedal held
down).  Was prepared to drive around the block, but it came loose before I
got out of the driveway.  Never happened again.
