Bridge Failures ...

When a diode power bridge - discrete devices or four-legged package - fails,

No it isn't.
Any thoughts on why this should be, rather than any one of the four
failing at random ?
Your observation is obviously flawed. All the diodes pass the same current. By
chance you've simply experienced a statistically anomalous percentage of such
failures.
