I have heard stories about a few early examples of 753 cracking/ failing under stress while working the bugs out of the heat treating process. On early Riv production bikes (Road Standard, Long Low and All Rounders) Grant spec'd the frame tubes with slightly longer butt sections (not sure if all tubes/both ends, but at least at the crucial points) for added strength and longevity.
