Yeah, that thread came up about 45 times in my search last night.
When I took everything apart the other weekend, there were no moon plates nor schorr (or any, for that matter) washers. I think between replicating that, probably not torquing to 40 ft-lbs instead of 30, having grease in there, yadda yadda yadda contributed to this.
There seems to be an ancient gasket on each flange, really stuck on there (another gasket fell off when I took them apart, so they were doubled up in there). I'll remove that as well. do a proper degreasing of all of the surfaces, and it should be fine after that.
It was fortunate that it was the hub end, so it didn't whip around and damage anything, there's some real horror pictures on here of loose axles tearing hell out of stuff.
