 1) Is there any way this degree of separation could have

 2) Does anybody have any examples of a block delaminating 
 to this degree under any circumstance except improper 
 stringing practices?

The pin block delaminated because the piano was strung (and the pins pounded
in), without supporting the pin block underneath. This is a no - no in piano
rebuilding. There is no way to repair this. The only solution is to put in a
new pin block.
