| When I got set as a child, I remember clearly it had one plate of wrong
size in it (different from the one shown in the instructions), and from my recollection
it was the plate that held the control patterned slopes (it should be a 4 x 10
plate). The plate in my set was either 2 studs too long or too short, but I don't
remember which. Unfortunately, I switched the plate to a correct one long time
ago, so I can't prove anything about this today.
Does anyone else remember something like this?

Could you have had 497?

No, my instructions say 928. But 497 doesn't seem to change anything with
respect to these plates.

I had a couple of these and I sort of remember a problem like you are writing
about. But my memory is a bit foggy. It is hard to believe that Lego makes
mistakes, most of us think that they are gods on Mt Olympus. They also contribute
to problems and often in the distant past put whatever they had into sets. The
old set 800 (I think that that is the number) called for a garage and they substituted
something totally different. They had ran out of the correct parts.

Considering Greek gods are far from paragons of perfection, subject to their
whims, inconsistent, unreasonable, and uncaring of us, mortals, I’d say “most
of us” are on to something here

I had this set as a child and don't recall anything like that. And I built
and un-builthe it 100 times.
Probably the consistency and quality control weren't as high back then. I
expect you just had a copy of the set with a packing error.
