Sounds to me like a defect, or maybe the axle missed heat treat.. I all Alloy USE axle shaft test I've read in 15 years they've never had one break..
Really looks like that missed the heat treaters...

but like i was saying if your axels is semi-floating or full-floating axels the axles carry some weight so they have to be able to bend, alloy doesn't bend , thats why their so strong
