From my experience... those calcium deposits often are the breeding ground for 'red rot'. Don't know for sure that they are related but perhaps the same scenario causes both.

yes, the calcium and other stuff in your saliva makes a slightly acidic formulation, the leaches the brass differentially (copper at a different rate than zinc) which gives the red rot/weakness to the brass.
