I forgot many specific reasons, but Blizzard has been known to randomly blame addons in this way. In this specific occasion, when removing/disabling said addon, it just blames the next one down in the list. |
When deciding which addon to blame, Blizzard uses the last addon that caused the taint.
So if addons A, B, C all taint the same thing, but C taints on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD while A and B taint on ADDON_LOADED, the blame will be associated to C. If you then disable C, it will blame the addon that loaded last, so if it loads A then B, B will be blamed with the taint.
