The angle of the torque arm changes as you adjust the chain. You really notice it when you go from an old stretched chain to a new one.

And thus if you don't loosen the calliper end torque bolt, the arm is stressed under tension, and this applies a shearing force to the other end of the torque arm mount... where yours has sheared off !!

Nothing to do with suspension

Hmmm -- I pulled my wheel back a few months ago by about 2mm (yes) do you think I should now go and loosen off the caliper-side arm bolt, and then re tighten to realease said stress

Technically, Yes
