One way to test that should be to take the "sleep cover" out of the equation, but put something like a cleaning cloth on the screen once the device is asleep. That means there's definitely something touching the screen, definitely no magnet-induced sleep/wake factor, and thus the two possible variables are split up. A drain in that context decisively points to the screen; no drain would call for testing with a pocketless sleep cover (or magnets to simulate one).

Has anyone compared notes on their sleep covers' brand names?
It also happened to someone when paper was touching the screen (PeterT perhaps...too lazy to look for the post...), so I think magnets are not the issue.
