A dear friend and old Yekkisher Rav the late R. Aryeh Jacobs OBM - pondreed this issue with me. He guessed that the nusach of the kedusha had morphed somehow. I did not quite fathom what he was getting at but he did see the taking off of Tephillin by "TRUE" Ashknenazim as an anomaly and that SOMETHING must have changed. A, Talmid Hacham's question is often more powerful than his proposed solution!
