The cause was failure to bake the board to meet the MSL level of the device to be removed and remounted. Also it is still very common for rework thermal profiles to much more severe than a typical SMT reflow profile, so even if the board is baked out to meet the MSL requirements of the package, rework can destroy a good device.

A hypothetical case, let's say during the process of wavesoldering, a part, whether it be a resistor, cap or DIP was lifted to the extent that a rework was necessary to seat part against the board. The normal course of rework would be to remove solder from the holes, allow the part to be removed, then resolder the part. I'm thinking that most of the responses will have concerns about the board de to rework more than concern for the part itself. My concern is thermal damage to the part. Assume that the part has been pre-tinned at a solder pot followed by installation and wavesoldering. Anyone have a take on this? Thanks.
