That's a new one.

Just a SWAG:

There's a slot in the piston and a 'key' on the carb body that keep the vacuum 
piston from rotating.  If that key was 
missing, and the piston was inclined to rotate counter-clockwise I suppose the 
viscosity of the damper oil could cause 
the damper piston to rotate and eventually unscrew the cap.

It's a long shot.
