I would say someone is forgetful with screws and probably still has a pile at home...

Does the vented nose cause an awkward pressure that would make it come off like that? Has anyone had a stock nose panel come off?

I've heard of only one that wasn't bolted on coming off. If it's bolted on properly, it will not come off, stock or vented.

If it's not bolted on, it will try to come off. If you have the end bolts installed and screws attached to the top of the radiator support, then it should stay put.
