Also, besides from water, I've found gravel on the fender, and I don't recall having driven through any clouds of gravel...........

No, no !!!
The zone of low pressure and turbulence exists behind your back and the rear of the bike any time that your bike is moving through the air at certain speed.
The air is simply trying to fill up the space that an instant earlier was occupied by your body and bike.
No rain or water or mud on the road and you don't see that happening, but there is air turbulence behind you.
Your tire is spitting water, mud and occasional pieces of gravel into that zone and then is sucked by that zone of low pressure and turbulence, landing on your back and seat.
