Often the limit screw is so far in it's pretty much run out of thread and doesn't take much to jiggle right through and fuck things up. The (very widespread) lack of knowledge that they're set up differently makes me think it's certainly a possible explanation. I always check those design mechs when I see them and it's getting better but I still reckon about half are incorrectly set up, even from new, with a few so bad something like this happens.

Only issue I see with that explanation (which I’ve also seen happen) is that the shifting would’ve been problematic from the start, whereas Stoo61’s m was shifting well initially and deteriorated.
