Are you missing a bit? If the new bolt looks 8mm longer than the old one, is it going all the way through the dropout due to the B-Pivot spring retainer being missing? That could cause it to go loose after the thread has passed through the dropout, leaving the derailleur hanging from the thin section where the B-Pivot spring retainer and circlip should be.
