Good point. I've been dinged before by assuming that specs were
general rather than limited to a small subset of possible operating
conditions. Publishing data without fully specifying test conditions
is a Bad Thing. Unfortunately it's also very common. Caveat Emptor.
I was under the impression that the part that failed had fairly limited
exposure to peroxide, though - hours rather than months. Of course there
may have been a few drops of peroxide in contact with the part for
long periods while on the shelf, so who knows.

Good idea.
