Kiwi,
  I would call that one rare. Possibly a hidden flaw in the casting. Cam.

I know that those lower shock bearings are usually the first to dry up in all the linkage and swing arm bearings... You need to keep them greased pretty frequently... I have had to replace my lower shock bearings before all the other bearings on every bike I have ever owned....
