To be more precise: in passive mode there is a 10K pullup (to 5V)
introducing some current (0.45 mA) in the coil. This small current may be
enough to retain something stuck to the magnet...

| (...) I think this could happen. Even without this low current present all the time, an electro magnet powered by a DC supply always in the same direction can develop a residual magnetic field (samll things would stay stuck even after the electro (...)
