I wasn't questioning your solder abilities, just thinking of the possible causes. I too think the bridge wasn't thick enough, or maybe the solder itself has more resistance due to the metal composition (tin/lead vs tin/silver).

You might want to temp the bridges after a couple minues of running to see if there are any hot spots.

Also, if the solder simply melted off, you'd think there would be some visible evidence of "dripping", or some solder splats on the chassis...
