That's interesting, same issue as me. Sounds like a quality control problem more than a design flaw.

Altogether much less concerning than the OP's issue which could result in metallic dust finding its way into the combustion chamber...

That being said, I've seen a few turbos go south like this in my time as a car enthusiast and none of the motors seemed any worse for wear.
