Are you sure these transistors were in backwards, or is the silkscreening on the board from an earlier revision where they changed transistor vendors in mid production, that are backwards from the previous vendor?

Remember, the Collector on most Japanese transistors is the center pin, the Emitter is on the side closest to electrical ground (maybe through a resistor or resistor/capactor) and the Base is usually the one "biased".
