After a few tries, I learned not to attend every argument that I have an invite too. On the original topic, it seems to me that the threads on the stem of the valve in question were probably stripped when someone with a couple wrenches over-tightened the the jam nut. That may not actually be the case, but that best explains the phenomenon of a nut that moved in rotation, but not translation.

In you efforts to examine or verify the issue, take appropriate care not to drop the valve down the hole. Recently, I someone (member Lucas?) dropped one and got it back, but it was a nail-biter.

My guess is to do anything besides drive as-is, the head comes off. Once that happens, you open up all the 'while you're in there's' and 'is it worth it's'. Minimally, parts would be new HG and valve, set of bolts at your discretion (another controversial topic).
