Assuming everything is "working as intended," I tend to think that 5% is a bit too optimistic of a reported spawn rate. If we assume instead a 1% spawn rate, then the chances of 270 consecutive placeholders is 1 in 15, which is five orders of magnitude more likely to occur than 1 in 1 million (which is indeed the right number, as calculated by Vayder above).
