Had the same thing happen to me.. i noticed right away the chips got clogged in the dust port(wasn’t using vaccuum or cust collection unit at the time) . that and a few passes over a knot and whala.. a bit of a kickback… when i checked the blade sure enough it was just as you described but only between two gib bolts not the wide snipe like you were getting.. previous owner may have left the gib bolts slightly loose which allowed room to cram chips in and bend the gib plate.
