Vibration. I'd be checking all the other engine mounts to make sure they are tight. I'd suspect the whole engine/stressed-member assembly of having some movement in it. Trellis frame plus British bolts.....

Is your chain adjusted ok? Is there much driveline snatch?

My Bmw did the same thing. It has a rear engine bolt that goes from one side of the bike to the other.

I put mine down to the engine/frame expanding (was a very hot day at the track) and the bolt couldnt stretch enough and snapped. Even with the bolt removed there was no engine movement so I don't believe it broke because of stress caused by engine movement.
