You can solder the string wind to stop it happening apparently. I use daddarios but dont bother since I've only had the unwind happen about three times in four years of playing JMs.
The snapped b string was most likely just bad luck tbh.
Mine aren't rubbing on the screw head either.
They develop Spurs from time to time and that's what's snapping the string(s)

I had a similar problem in a Parker Fly. Filing the sharp edge off the bit that holds the string ball solved the problem. It appeared to be a combination of the bridge profile and a particular month’s production batches.
