Is there something wrong with the chain length/chain tension/rear wheel alignment?

Interesting, certainly seems that if the shift drum is able to move the shift forks will be mis-aligned and won't hold the gears engaged. I'd say you're definitely on the right track.

Yeah, something in there was certainly mis-aligned, or there was an unexpected force. I would love to see if you can compare the broken one with the new and figure out for certain what the problem was, just so we have some closure.

Is it possible for the shift drum to go too far "in"? I'm not super impressed by the whole assembly being held in by the neutral switch. Is there any indication of a problem with the dogs? I guess that could cause a lateral load.
