A near majority of the hashrate on the network appears to be SPV mining.
Btcnuggets was a non-upgraded miner that produced an invalid block
after the lock in and f2pool and antpool have been extending it.
Fortunately their extension contains no transactions (an artifact of
SPV mining). Obviously a complete understanding is going to take some
time; though I would note that this general failure mode was one we
were aware of and is part of the reason the treshold is so high.
