I'm inclined to agree, could even be that the rim isn't seating properly due to thick paint or powdercoat. Easy to pinpoint by jacking the rear wheel up so that it can be rotated then use a suitable block of wood to hold a pointer against the centre point of the wheel nut and then the rim/tyre/hub to check for run out.
