That IS really strange! I have a Janome 6600 that is my "standard" machine and I get all kinds of lint off CT thread (and also Robison-Anton thread, which I got a whole bunch of as a 'bonus' with my machine), but very little lint off of Aurifil. I guess experimenting is the way to go!
Fabrics definitely shed lint differently too. If I'm sewing flannel with CT or R-A thread, I need to clean my bobbin out constantly!
