Hasn't happened to me yet, but I believe that possibly the little lug gets weaker with the heat around the processor area and breaks off.
Have minimised this happening on my machine by using a three clip heatsink, so all the lugs are used, therefore spreading the weight of the processor.
Unfortunately its poor design with Socket A..
