In googling for more examples of past participle “did”, I came across
a disturbing number of cases where “was did” seemed to replace
standard “did”.  A few examples

- What was did Andrew Johnson’s loyalty oath say?
- What was did Malcolm X learn at school?
- What was did families  do for fun in the 30s?
- What practical use do I have for this hill that was did not
previously exist when I chose this relatively level lot?
- We arrived on a freezing cold night to an empty restaurant that was
did not have out (reserved) table ready.
- As a sample return mission, there is no way that it can be
considered a scaled down Phobos 2, given that that was did not involve
sample return.
- She began to tell me that what I was did was very wrong and that I
was very bad.
- Two different times I was did pictures under contract to him, and
both times he reneged on the contracts.
- It was the opinion of her contemporaries that she would have
recovered from this illness if she had fought against it, but she was
did not want to.

This has unsettled me almost as much as my discoveries about “whom” a
few years ago. Can all these be just the result of badly edited
typing? or is there some new development in Aux that I hadn’t noticed?

You're a strange fellow, Ross.  Every single one of the sentences you'd
entered above had only ONE source --- your own post.
