Hi Henry, I have owned the 15-85 and I used it in a large variety of dusty circumstances and can tell you now that it will inhale dust!

I know have the 24-70 f4 L and have just returned from another dusty envoirnment only to discover that it has also inhaled dust!

i think most of these zooms that extend when zooming will inhale dust regardless of weather sealing.

I just ignore dust now as it doesn't seem to affect iq.

Just to clarify, there is dust being sucked inside the lens, or just on the rear element?
