Many of them don't. Tigger's previous owner's previous Tiger (where's
NewPS to tell me this doesn't make sense?) was also in that range, and
had no delamination problems until they had it chemically stripped and
painted. So I think there's usually some secondary issue involving
chemical exposure (either intentional or environmental).

That'll do it. There's a nice big placard on the firewall that tells you to
consult the manual prior to performing any paint stripping. The manual
shows large areas where chemical stripping is verboten because it can cause
debonding.

One downside to Grummans. A paint job that includes stripping is expensive
because it's very labor intensive.
