Problem Caused by running E85 - now what is it?

E85 and rotarys is not the best idea as far as i have heard from some rotary "experts" here in Norway. Tends to cause more wear in the engine, since it washes away the oil film in the housing, hence more friction between apex and housing.
Again not my words, just what i've heard from people who have rebuilt many rotarys, and have seen the difference in wear between running e85 and regular gas.
