+T Turbo Oil feed. Is this the right hole?

I've handled dozens of pulleys in my own cars over the years plus customer cars at work and have never noticed anything out of ordinary. Total count could be around 60-100(or more?). Imo the risk of a broken pulley is nonexistant. But of course, use 90 degree turn for oil line if you want to minimize that risk.
 
This is how I did it on my b21 block. You just have to start the adapter in the right spot so it tightens enough when it gets where you want it.

How does this happen? Must have been loose already? Never seen or even heard of one before. The material and shape of the pulley don't seem to be easily brakeable if something else doesn't fail first badly.

Weren't very early ones only one thickness? Seems there was update/recall?

Yes, early (e.g., my B21FT, was single thickness, later B230F was double thickness). I'd be curious if there really was a update/recall.
