I too experience the occasional problem with the rear derailer cable
dropping out of the BB cable guide on my Riv custom and Saluki.
I've encountered this when removing the rear wheel - usually in the
midst of a flat repair. If this event is in the midst of a driving
rain storm
the cable is almost guaranteed to fall out of the guide. ;>)
I use the inner liner from brake cable housing on the derailer cables
where they run under the BB - works great.

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.

Problem solved (I think). The local bike shop gave me six inches of
thin (about 1/4" diameter) plastic tubing that they use to protect
frames from derailleur and brake cables. They fit into the BB guides
and seem to be holding their place under the tension of the cable.

I wish they'd just build them with a threaded hole for...or actually
install the under BB plastic cable guide. I am not fond of the
