Strange. Maybe something just barely dragging on the rotor/wheel? After you've driven it a while hop out and put your nose in the wheel area and sniff, then go around and sniff the other one. Carefully put your hands on things in and around the wheel/rotor area and see if you can find something that burns your finger on one side of the car, but not the other. Remember, the "appearance at high speed" could be a red herring and just a trick of how the air flow brings the smell in. It could be something as simple as a zip tie that was left sitting somewhere and that has now shifted/blown over to rest on top of something that gets hot after you've driven it. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I know it bugs you.
Afterthought -- No chance that it's one of those fuse box covers that popped off and is now resting on the primary pipes?
