Do you have the same aluminum pulley? Could be I just got unlucky and got a bad one.
I think I have the same pulley and someone here said Jim had failure of same pulley but am not sure of that. Did you modify the tensioner for installation of the pulley?

We have to wait to see what you find when you remove the Tensioner.
Before you remove the Tensioner check the Pulley to see if any play, resistance, interference.

The Serpentine Belt is just a bit narrower than the riding surface on the pulley (check that surface for wear compared to the original surface).

It could be a fatigue crack between spokes as Phil Suggests.
