Mine is doing the same taking it in for a tune up today. This is actually expected if its on the largest chain ring and on the largest cog in the back.

Any advice on how to open these a bit so they aren't close enough to rub?
You sure its from the rear derailleur? I heard a similar noise and it was coming from the crankset.

Please report back on this! the breaking is not the greatest on mine either (actually went through a bush.. long story)

I dont get why this happens to me too! hopefully after its tune up today that goes away.
