That's a new one.
Just a SWAG:
There's a slot in the piston and a 'key' on the carb body that keep the vacuum
piston from rotating. If that key was
missing, and the piston was inclined to rotate counter-clockwise I suppose the
viscosity of the damper oil could cause
the damper piston to rotate and eventually unscrew the cap.
It's a long shot.
