I have never seen anything like this happen. And there is nothing really different about a keyed forend as compared to other types.
It is likely climate aclimation, but i am just surprised as to how much it moved. Higly figured wood will usually change more over time than plain wood.
I usually like to stay away from highly figured wood for forends as to ensure strength when installing and removing.
