Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Just a suspicion which you can confirm or rule out.

Swing the bars around, and see if the brake hanger hits the top tube before the handle bar does. If so, that's your problem.

When you handle the bike (not when riding) the front wheel swings around, bumping the hanger. This moves it a few degrees, then moves it back when it bumps in the other direction. The repeated bumping and small back and forth movement arc works the locknut loose.
