Finally, there could be a small pebble trapped in the caliper that is scraping.

I've gotten that several times with a damn pebble. A short, quick acceleration usually takes care of that.
Oh. And if you hit a deep puddle of water at speed, there is a chance you could bend the shield underr the driveshaft causing it to make contact and it is more pronounced when engine braking. You'll have to bend the shield back. Happened to me last spring. But, that's actually scraping I suppose. Not sure how many people have ever dealt with that. I might be the only one. But it sounds a lot like a rotor/wheel issue. Kinda scary.
