Incorrect.
If the bottom leg of the ejector hammer is broken it will still cock and hold when the gun is unfired. It would however be sprung forward with the forend removed if the gun was fired. The photo phil posted is with the gun cocked. The bottom leg of the hammer only comes into play when the gun is fired.

And, I am not saying that the issue IS a broken hammer, only that it possibly could be.
