The fact that there are only so few is strange.
That they would be scraped before painting seems like more 'care' than the painter has applied in general, but this remains speculation.
In the Vicenza MS (and a few other known cases) they clearly weren't scraped.
I do occasionally see reports that people see things hidden under the paint, but most of the times these are not like normal characters in the normal size.
