Yup; this. I don't have a front loader (decided to forgo them years ago) but I've heard this complaint from most who have them, especially if they live in humid areas or their W/D setup is in an enclosed (poorly ventilated) room.
FWIW, I have a top-loader and I still always leave the lid up. It helps that it has a self-cleaning cycle as well (you run it every x number of washes (it tells you)).
