How exactly did this happen?

The service manual says you can remove it in one piece. To get it out in one piece the instructions say:
1) Remove the rear shock absorber lower bolts
2) Loosen the rear crossmember component installation bolts (6 locations) and lower the rear crossmember component approx. 70 mm {2.8 in.}.
3) Remove the main silencer.

Someone did something they shouldn't have. There is no wiring with in a dangerous proximity of the exhaust from the turbo back.

The pretty way and a touch time consuming compared to 20 seconds of cutting and 10 minutes to reweld it. Crazy Mazda engineers.

The Mazda engineers don't have to take it apart. They only worry about putting it together and the exhaust goes in before the rear suspension.
