Yep; I'll bet that's exactly what happened. Since it's an electroforged frame, the head tube basically had stubs for the top tube and the down tube to be flash welded to. The stubs are at different angles to the head tube, but I can see how somebody with a hangover could put it in the stamping machine bass ackwards if he (or she) wasn't paying attention.
