spark plug tube seals seat inside the valve cover, and more than likely dont deteriorate and fall into the spark plug tube.
I have seen what you are talking about happen on many honda's........ look at your spark plug wire. if its flat, and sits on th ebase of the plug, it CAN get stuck around the plug and when you pull the wire out, it can snag and rip off. happens when you use crappy wires.

the rubber piece was like a really big rubber washer or soemthing around the threads of the spark plug fed in to the socket. it wasnt sitting on top of the plug or anythign and it was really difficult to get the spark plug out.

how come no one said anything about a possible anti-seize compound the previous owner/mechanic could have used when they replaced the plugs???
or maybe even, i've heard of some people using a piece of rubber when putting the plug in, to avoid crossthreading ( )
either way i wouldnt think it would be anything to worry about unless your getting oil on the plugs...
