Nah, I think it makes perfect sense. It didn't fall out.... 'cuz the other bolt on top is still connected, but the break allows it to rotate substantially.
Now, with this broken I'd bet the front mount rubber is now twisted / separated, and the trans mounts are probably deformed / leaking. That's allot of movement.
