My  .02.  

When I was shooting motion picture film those gel holders for behind the lens 
filtration were avoided at all costs because any marks at the back were way 
worse than marks at the front.

I was also taught in no uncertain terms that front scratches can be lived 
with, but lenses with rear element scratches should be avoided.  Slight 
cleaning marks might be another thing, though.

Sorry, never tested it :)
