Ducati vibration can unscrew all sorts of fasteners, so I wouldn't rule it out!

I haven't had an Oberon apart, but I'm assuming that it screws together.
This type of slave has an anti-rotation pin to stop the pushrod damaging the cylinder. Since the clutch rotates anticlockwise (when viewed from the clutch side), if it wasn't free at the clutch end, then it would impart a turning force to the slave, which might be enough to twist the back plate. Pull the slave off again, (don't lose the pin!), and see if you can turn the pushrod easily. I wouldn't have thought this would be an issue with wet clutches though.
If you look closely at your picture, there appear to be two punch marks; one on the outer casing and one on the back plate. Should these be aligned, I wonder?
You could always email Oberon explaining what happened and see what they say.

I wonder if that's just the chain cutting through old lube, Rob, rather than wear of the actual sprocket.
