I am wondering it is a weep hole to allow off-gassing for tubeless sealants that contain ammonia. Seems awfully close to the upper cavity where the tire mounts and the area below with the spoke nipples.

I just went to the DT Swiss website - seems that hole is on the photos of some of their carbon road wheels.... I think you're safe.

That really does make the most sense.. I'm just curious as to why only the back not the front? Less spoke holes on the front? maybe to ID the rear rim easily when manufacturing?
