Playing amateur chemist here, could it be that if the solution has absorbed so much iron from the derusting process, when you place a dissimilar metal like aluminum in it, it could cause an electrolytic action that eventually deteriorates the aluminum?

Steve,
I think that an absorption of more iron oxide (it doesn't absorb iron) into the liquid would just slow down anything it could do. I don't know the chemical composition of this liquid, but it just seems to absorb oxides.
