Hi,
Doesn't surprise me at all. But, I'd never use it (or the other jack point) for anything but placing the car on stands. I'm a little safety conscious, maybe even excessively so, but I also always also lay a Tire/Wheel under the car at the stand(s) so in the event that the stands failed and the car dropped, the wheel will carry the weight. I might be trapped, but not crushed.
Actually happened once when working on a friend's MGBGT with some rather dubious stands he owned, one collapsed - scared the ******************** outta me I can tell you...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
