Update:

I was told that the dryer drum shifts slightly, and exposes some of the glue used to hold the felt in place. The dryer heat then causes the glue to slightly melt, and it occasionally deposits on clothing.

I periodically use some sort of mild solvent-type cleaner on a paper towel or rag, and wipe the crack on the front inside edge of the dryer thoroughly to remove any excess glue. Feel with your finger the crack where the felt is, and then wipe in that crack all the way around. You should wipe off a bit of brownish sediment so you will know it is working. Follow up by wiping off the cleaner with a damp rag to remove any residue.

You may want to test that the cleaner doesn't damage the inner finish of the dryer, and also make sure it isn't flammable and that you clean it off well after, because you don't want the dryer heat to start a fire when you use the dryer!
