I have no idea if that coil hurt the DME without knowing the optimal charge times so I can't say for sure. But the transistor driver is hefty and should remain safe if the over current protection works. However, if you charge the coil for more time than optimal the coil will heat up and likely fail early.
But I see a lot of DMEs with vibration failure solder joints at the large coil driver transistor. It's very common failure so it's possible the DME simply failed because of age and vibration.

It was in my 911 for under 6,000 miles. 5,500 of those miles was driven in 15 days. I am sure glad the DME was able to get us back home before it gave up and died.
