Has the biner itself been deformed compared to similar biners? I don't have similar quickdraws, but the biners on my quickdraws all seem to curve more and not have a flat bit like the one that's snagged in between the bolt and the plate on yours... I wouldn't be surprised if rope-drag and traversing a bit above the bolt can somehow make the biner cam in like that if the dogbone isn't sitting on the flat bit of your biner (especially, as Neil suggested, if the bolt is sitting on a very overhanging part of the wall where the quickdraw will start following the wall in the wrong direction); but that's all just a guess. Probably best to send the image to the manufacturer so that their engineers can have a proper think about it?
