There have been other reports of similar accidents with weather resistant bodies & lenses but I wouldn't have thought it possible with a Ltd, I think you were extremely lucky the lens mount is probably the weakest of the seals as it is but the Ltd doesn't even have one, I would probably be tempted to do the old silica gel back trick and make sure the lens is thoroughly dry.

Perhaps it came with some booty or was purchased in a rum soaked stupor

Try TAv Bob, you have control over all three values with just the two control dials and you can see just what is set to what in the viewfinder.

Did you stop the lens down after looking through the viewfinder and composing the shot?
With the aperture wide open any vignetting won't be as obvious.

I did three years doing evening classes, one basic photography, one advanced and one aimed at B&W incl. developing and printing, It got me a few Ncfe's and the tutor (same one 3 years running with mostly the same students) told us we were qualified enough to skip the first year if we wanted to do a Degree at Uni.

I thought about it long and hard and came to the conclusion it wouldn't make me a better photographer, joining a camera club did that.
