You pair have frightened me as I've always had faith in Suflexes 
I once had an obscure fault like that at work. The PCB had been out in the field for a couple of years and the Customer reported that very occasionally it stopped on an internal fault. All sorts of Production tests failed to find the problem, but yes, it would indeed stop once in a flood. Eventually, after much testing and head sctratching, it turned out to be a Transistor in backwards - C/E reversed. It just had enough gain to work most of the time.
You live and learn.
