That all seems pretty odd. My only outside thought was maybe a garage with pool chemicals. We got a lot of those bikes with spokes ready to snap. They might get away with it for a while, but then they start breaking spokes left and right.
Honestly, with 4 broken spokes on the factory wheel, and one broken on a fresh build, you might want to just look at some different wheels. Go with a higher spoke count if it makes you feel more comfortable. If you talk to the shop about it and can't resolve the issue with the stock wheel, see if they will give you a good price on a new set of wheels, either custom built if you can trust the shop (get more info on who builds wheels there), or one of their vendors will have lots of options for some factory built wheels.
