After locating and reviewing the "dreaded straight clip thread"...
http://goccf.com/t/280812&whichpage=1...I think the lack of a tapered rim at the end points of the clip suggests it's not a mint error. Also, the edge in the clipped area looks beveled.
Sorry bnick, but I had to dig up the thread and post it for anyone wondering.
