Here's a second more recent Ultra cartridge failure, only much worse than the OP's. Complete detachment of media from end caps over a wide area.

And as comparison a very similar type failure, only this time in an Extra Guard cartridge. So 'based on the similarity' it's not limited to an XG specific construction exception.

Given the much more limited posting of cartridges here and afaik no similar type failures of other brands posted, one could conclude imo there may be a design issue.
