The bolt on the axle housing side looks like it was tightened with the axle housing hanging down, such as the position the axle would be with the car on a lift. That bolt should be tightened down with the axle housing at normal ride height. If tightened down with the axle extended down, the UCA gets clamp to the axle bushing in the extended position. Once the axle collapses to proper ride height, it will try and twist the UCA downward, putting a load on the axle end.
the control arm better articulate with the suspension unloaded as well as loaded! The failure does seem strange to me though. Whiteline has sold a ton of these since their release and this is the only issue I have ever heard of. I am interested to see what Whiteline's Engineering comes up with.
