[OM] 65-200mm cloudy rear lens

How common is the problem with the rear element looking cloudy?  Do I
have any hope of getting a good one?  Is there any relation to serial
number with this defect?  The only example of this lens I have ever
held had the problem - the rear element had fine specks all over it
when viewed from the front end with a light shining from the rear. 
Cleaning was of no benefit.  It appears to be inside - not on the
outer surface that is accessible to cleaning.  The defect would not
be obvious on a casual look at the lens, so a careful inspection
seems to be required.
If a lens is OK now, what are the chances it will remain good, or do
I end up with a problem down the road?
