Yup, I have seen this on several encoders. Either debris got into the 
encoder,
or the bearings have disintegrated, allowing the disc to hit the fixed 
gratings
and rub away the pattern. First, it starts to flake out at one point in the
rotation, and slowly spreads as the damaged area grows.

Glad you found it!
