By skip I meant a very slight extra movement forward that can only be felt in the leg as a little 'tick' if you will. Always in the exact same crank rotation position as I begin the downstroke on the left side/leg only.

Is it possible for a chain to wear this much in 700mi of relatively clean non wet roads? My last 3/32" fixed gear chain lasted 6800mi before it measured as stretched.
