I Have this same issue beginning to happen also, though it is not as dramatic as the image from the original poster. The indents are not as pronounced and they are both from loosening and tightening, which leads me to think the specced torque is too high. I was at a local repair shop today picking up chain lube and showed it to a mechanic I trust who's been working on bikes and riding for 25+ years and he said the same thing. I know I was surprised when I went from my Vstrom to the FJ I had to buy a new torque wrench, as my old one didn't go over 100 ft.lbs. Who knows, maybe the new wrench was mis-calibrated from the start. I'll probably try the Gilles tool as well. Personally I think to stock adjuster is just a bad design with too soft aluminum.
