I'd say that it is something like....
when you put pressure on your crank, it will pull your whole wheel to one side very slightly (depending on which pedal you are pushing on at the time will change which way it pulls). A very high quality wheel that doesnt use the 'cone and cup' system in the hub wont do this.

Therefore i think that the tyre could be catching on your frame at the closest point to your tyre/ rim, or any other obstacle like your brake.

I have had a similar problem when I had a wheel with loose cones, it kept being pulled over to the side which was making it catch on my metal brake booster (magura hs33).

Put your bike in the stiffest gear you have and somehow put plenty of pressure on any pedal, then get someone to check around your rear wheel for anything catching.

If that doesnt solve it- put your wheel in someone elses frame.

Hope it works.
