Paul you might be right, I remember a few years ago a friend of mine put the modified nut on backwards after the first nut fell off, he was thinking along the same lines as you he used a 3 mm washer drilled out to fit over the splines between the nut an the tab washer to ensure the tabe washer could the located on the spines properly. There was about a 1 mm gap of play between the sprocket and the washer.
He always thought the nut should not be tight against the sprocket. I checked with him after reading the post and he never had the problem again. He still has the bike but cannot use it due to a back problem and there is 33000 miles and 2 sprockets with the same nut and tab washer.
