Yes, I think I'd agree that the engine/gearbox could possibly 'eat' this kind of spring without too much bother and I would think that's how it broke into 2 pieces because after it had fallen down the rear cylinder oil drain it would have landed somewhere around the gear box.
That said I'd rather not use the gearbox as a 'waste disposal' unit (especially given I only replaced it a couple of years ago) but it shows (again) how useful a magnetic sump plug is.
