Then bend the tab washer over thoroughly, tightly, and it should be tight forever.

This is what I've done myself today ! I've tighten the nut as hard as I could with a 30 cm long key then bend the tab washer over it.
I will check it after a while to see how it is !
I think the air gun is was bad or not adjusted properly for torque since I had this problem on the rear axle also ... same gun same guy ...
I was missing the safety wire in the rear axle nut and the bolts at the end of the swing arm.
I will test all important bolts and nuts tomorrow because I don't want to have any problems.
L.E. I just re-read your post and figured out that the nut might be in the wrong way placed !?
The nut has a groove on one side and is flat on the other side. I put the nut the way I've found it with the groove towards the sprocket ?! and now it holds the sprocket in place ... should it lock it self on the axle or on the sprocket ?
The design seems to be no.1 from your example and I think it's correct the way I've mounted it.
