This is a difficult repair because the saddle has side force on it. If the saddle is loose at all, it will lean, and increase the chance of failure.
Saddles that lean or are too tall are a major cause of this.
The saddle slot should be deep enough that at least half the saddle is inside the bridge.
The pickup (under saddle transducer, or UST) may be a contributing factor. It will reduce the amount of saddle in the bridge, and pickups require the saddle to be slightly looser to work well.
