Non drive side should be significantly lower tension than DS, anyway. So DS should be popping first. Non DS spokes should be more likely to loosen. Hmm.
Wondering if you had spoke damage on the non DS.
Perhaps a pannier strap/hook came off at some point and got caught up in the spokes ?
Or sometimes even damage from a bike rack incident ?
Ben Hur situation ?
Anyway, good luck with the new wheel.
