Ah hah! An explanation! I didn't think about digging through old posts. I just thought I was going nuts. Since the bolt has to fit down into the recess past the tabs - they must have chiseled the thing to open it up. I've just been carefully grinding down the flats a little at a time 'till the bolt snaps in place.
