The installation was done correctly, there was no wobble, the key and o-ring were seated properly.
I don't know if my experience was a singular event, I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue.

Calum - That is really odd because you would think that the dirt would collect equally in between the spokes. I have never heard of this happening. The only thing I can think of is that the pulley might have been out of balance from the get go.
