Very interesting. My pals 89 had a broken mount bar on the passenger side when he bought it. At the skinny part of the neck. Porsche dealer PPI missed it but that is moot.
So we find it and he buys a snappy Rennline one and goes to remove the long fat bolt near where the cross mount broke and it is not moving. Monstro breaker bar - nuttin' is going to move that bolt.
I bet your warning had something to do with that mount breaking. Over-torque, cross threading, who knows? If engine torque caused it to break I don't see that causing the threads to seize.
