Tenax II film advance problem

And then, half way through the roll, a problem. Apparently, something went wrong with the film transport, so instead of advancing by at least 25-26 mm after each shot, the film was advanced by only about 4-5 mm, which means that you can see at least 6 individual shot on the one 24x36 mm scan.

 

I checked afterwards whether there is a mechanical defect in the camera. There isn't - the film winding spool firmly turns and so do the two cogs that advance the film by almost 6 sprockets per lever action, as they should.
