Thanks, Hendrik.
That might indeed be the best explanation for the specimen above.
In other cases, as mentioned by me above, the intersex is not intermediate, but partly male, partly female. This seems to be a different mechanism. I use 'intersex' in the most broadest sense, for anything not clearly male of female. We'd probably need to refine the terminology, maybe it already exists, I don't know.
