That sounds like a metallurgic defect to me, not abuse. The little pin merely "locates" the big pin on which the spider gears rotate and doesn't bear any load whatsoever - many other diffs are made this way and don't fail due to a retaining pin.
So what are they going to do about the supercharger causing even more wheel spin? I'm smelling excessive electronic boost control to keep things from self destructing.
