Perhaps the hole for that screw was defective (e.g., somebody tried to screw in a screw one size too big) and rather than replace the case, he covered his mistake with the loctite.
I'm still mistified by the hard drive soldered into the case of a brand-name computer, the trend to preventing user maintenance makes me nuts, and sometimes gets excessive, but in a hot-swappable array it would be patently oxymoronic. I think just some coincidence of mistakes.
