Looks likebad connection overheating (i.e. high resistance)...

Maybe likely still to be a poor connection, corrosion on pins loose wire etc. The voltage regulator deals with quite high currents you don't
need much resistance to to generate a lot of heat.

Mine did that. Twice. Once ate the block connector (and hosed itself), then melted the blade connectors I connected the replacement rectifier with.
It's now soldered in and been fine ever since.
