The thing about dry coffee is, that at a microscopic level, it's not really in good contact with the can surface. The air gap protects against migration, even if the can wall started to break down. Moist food is in intimate contact with the can, and the water actually forms a solvent bridge between the food and can.
Anyway, enough....
Glad you find my brain of some use.
