On my Atlantis I had a problem with the cables coming out of the guides. Not huge, only happened every now & again. But it's a pain to fuss with when the bike is loaded down with 4 panniers. When I finally had to replace the BB (6 years, I think) I drilled & tapped a hole in the BB shell and added a plastic cable guide. The paint was fine. FWIW I may be the only person to ever have the cable wandering problem.
