Yes, shell bearings rely on a certain amount of 'nip' or crush occurring when the housing is bolted up to prevent rotation (the lugs are purely for alignment during assembly). If this has not occurred either the housing wasn't done up tight, or it was slightly oversize already. Or conceivably something was trapped in the joint (e.g. misguided insertion of a shim).
A swap for a better s/h housing might do the trick, I'd still check it for alignment though.
There's plenty of meat on the lower housing so it can be re-bored if you machine back the joint face a little - but the upper requires a new part with machining allowance added.
