I ONLY use synthetic cork staples, and never have this problem.
I'm a little confused. Are you saying when you pull the reed out, the reed is wet on the outside (cork) or the inside?
I'd echo voboe's analysis. I'd also suggest that perhaps real cork insulates the tube better, thus keeping the brass from drastic temperature changes (suddenly turning cold, suddenly getting hot again) and the thicker, more dense real cork might retain heat better than the synthetic cork which tends to be a bit squishier. Just a guess though?
