Do you think that really seems likely?

Maybe reversing polarity on the shower circuit would stop itI don't doubt that, but can't imagine it explaining such a high percentage of apparent issues on neutral side.
Doesn't seem any logical explanation. Contacts make simultaneously, give or take ? and current alternatesThat's a question I'd love to see answered with something better than speculation.
Oh definitely, the amount of tails that I come across in consumer units barely nipped up is staggering, I always tighten them, wait a minute, give them a bit of a wiggle any you usually find you get another complete turn of the screw fairly easily.As @nicebutdim states when terminating cables into terminals they will relaxe after a minute so you need to revisit and nip them up a few times.
