I would like to respectfully submit that the pins were most likely tight at
the factory, but had become loose in use. This is a common problem, usually
resulting from a hard pedaller and/or low damper stop rail and/or too much
pedal travel.

It's easy to blame it on the factory, and in a lower stress location that
might be a fair assumption. Honestly, though - these can and do loosen up
from hard use, with the pin working out the side.  The problem will usually
reoccur unless the pedal system is readjusted.
