I agree, if it was jacked from the mount for the rear adjustable arms.  
But isn't there a center rear jacking point on these cars (I seem to 
recall one on the 164L I used to have), just in front of the bumper 
cover?  If they had used that, I can't see any issue.  However, all 
signs seem to point to a dramatic misalignment causing the tire wear, 
and bent rear suspension bits would be a likely suspect.
