I've never had that happen. Most of our carts were made where the bottom of the cart was two parallel sheets of metal in kind of a v shape in the middle (the low point running from front to back) and with about a 1/4 inch gap between them so that water can't stay. We had some back in the day where the metal was welded together, but there were holes drilled along the middle. If you airline does not have some drainage, then the GSE guys need to put them there for this very reason.
Also, when I'm talking about careless handling, I'm talking about the bag getting this wet, to the point it soaked the bag through and through. The side of the bag being wet (even soaked) is not careless handling because, as you have said, sometimes the bags get loaded and unloaded in the rain.
