have you looked at the accuracy of these cheap digital voltmeters? The ones I've
seen were remarkably good...with no RF around.

can you prove it was that? Did it repeat on the replacements?

As a percentage of the number of 8877s made, that must be miniscule.

Just to stir things up, what percentage of 8877s made 
(not just in ham gear) have failed because of parasitics?
