Valve seat drop/broken

Has anyone experienced or know of a valve seat failure/ drop out on a 3.2 Carrera.

After a recent rebuild and post a 1k run in process, while the car was on the dyno setting the idle and anti stall map ( no power run done as yet) car began to run rough. On examination it would appear that my valve seat on number 5 had become dislodged.

To speed up the build process a set of spare heads were sent away the be refurbed and the original seats were used. Am I just unlucky or could there have been an inherent issue with the head?
