I really don't know. Maybe others have some ideas about this.
My "guess" is that genetics for faults show up and then become prominent.
I also don't think Mr Prospector passed this fault, because so many of his "get" don't have it.
Hope this narrows it down.
It's kind of like tracing Secretariat's huge heart to the mutation from Blue Larkspur.
Your question is very interesting. My guess is to find the answer through a process of elimination.
