Years ago, I had antifreeze come out of my driver's-side exhaust. I pulled the head and found the issue: 3 or 4 years prior, when I'd put the head back on after getting some work done, the wire to the neutral safety switch made its way inbetween the gasket and the head (across the #7 cylinder!). It ran like that for a few years before coolant finally made its way into the cylinder.
Sometimes it's amazing the dumb stuff that you can do to an engine and still have it run. Other times it's amazing how an engine won't run due to the seemingly smallest thing.

I have had the same thought over the years!

Since 1996 the majority of Magnum V8s head gasket failures I have heard about have been the rearmost cylinders.

On the old version of the Evans Cooling Website there was an article about the Detroit Police Dept trying waterless coolant in 5.2 Magnum V8s in Jeeps. They had to enlarge a rear coolant hole on the Magnum head gasket after several failures.
