I haven't heard anyone discuss this yet: what causes traces on some old

Wrinkles? Ones I've seen are, AFAIK, solder buildup between the
copper trace and the solder mask, not between the copper trace and the
underlying board. You have something different going on?
Yes, wrinkles. I see this most often with wider traces. Commodore 64s
seem especially prone to this.
