Like the rigidity of the hardtail make the chain bounce more?
There's nothing absorbing the forces applied by the terrain to the bike other than the tyre, so I would expect the chain would be having a harder time staying in place than it was when there is 135mm of travel between said forces and Mr Chain.
Dammit
I didn't drop the chain in two weeks at Morgins, I reckon that ones ok.
You get thrown around a lot more on a hardtail, so I assume the chain also does, was my thinking.
