How do you know it isn\'t the glue? If the clear adhesive (\"glue\") extends to the edges of the sensor, between the sensor and the cover glass, as is likely, the adhesive can be wetted by condensation. In the tropics, or any hot and humid environment, going out from air-conditioning into the heat will create condensation: you can see that condensation on the lens; but within the camera there can also be condensation that wets the edge of the sensor and causes corrosion in the clear adhesive. In cold climates, you can get between warm indoors and very cold outdoors, although I have no idea whether relatively high is necessary for the M9-type affected by this phenomenon.
I\'ve not idea whether the problem is in the clear adhesive, but I don\'t see why you would be so certain that it is not.
