Opening and closing the cylinder while it is contacting the frame stud WILL cause wear and it doesn't take any added force for it to occur. It's steel against steel.

Agreed, there's nothing wrong with the gun. Those marks can be minimized with careful handling. Keeping it pointed down is good. If the fired cases stick at all, you're driving the cylinder against the stud unless you support it during ejection. You can also cause those marks while cleaning the cylinder with a patch or brush, which is one reason I remove the cylinder to clean it.
In the case of a 637, it's worse than "steel on steel". It's steel on an aluminum alloy frame.
