Brooks Saddle Got Rain Drops

A while back I bought a Brooks B-17W for my bride's SS, since she had tried my B-17 and liked it. I did the same pre-treatment for hers that I did on mine using Brooks PROOFIDE. Today we were off the bikes when a very fast very light rain passed through our little Northern Arizona town. The rain beaded up and ran off my saddle, but hers got something like a blister everywhere a drop landed.

Que Pasa? Is her saddle ruined? Will more beeswax keep this from happening again? Did I ask "Is her saddle ruined?" I feel awful and want her to be happy not making-do with a saddle that is in the process of delaminating or worse.

Thanks.
