General rotaion and wear is forward. Pads are always slightly touching so reverse motion ecspecially under slow speeds can create friction from the metal on metal creating the Metalic squeal. This will more than likely be more apparent under cold conditions meaning the vehicle has been sitting for awhile. Have you looked at your rotors after the car has been sitting after driving in the rain. You can see the rust buildup from the condensation.

Its the same thing the pads have been rubbed against mainly in the forward direction and the build up is on the reverse direction of the pad. I have had this happen a few times. I have resolved the issue by finding an empty parking lot clear of any obsticles drive in reverse at decent rate of speed lock up the brakes hard. Then repeat a couple times but this time just break hard enough that the breaks don't lock up allowing the pads to be hard pressed against the Rotor in the opposite direction.

Or if so inclined you could take off the pads and scuff them with an abrassive.

i had it happen to me before, the problem was that i needed new pads cuz those were done already. you'll be suprised how fast the rear pads wear, check if you need new pads.
