Hi Kirby I also have posters that were linen backed 20 years ago and they are fine. All have been stored in the same place as the ones that have foxing. That's why I am convinced that the backer did not mix the paste properly.

John, Thanks for this contribution. I do want anyone reading this to know, however, that I have linen-backed posters that I have had for 15 years easily that do not exhibit these problems. It's also good to remember that all collectors do not have the mandate of an archivist - as a museum might, for example. That said, vigilant concern for one's posters is a good idea. Many more posters, I think, are ruined by leaky plumbing, plexi not filtered for UV etc, general carelessness than are damaged by well-trained, seasoned restorers.
