I don't think there is any "official" explanation.  There may be a line
about it in one of the scripts, or maybe not...?

CONFETTI CHECK A-OK obviously shows how Straker's relationship
deteriorates with his wife.  But it also indirectly shows that Straker
and Henderson once had a better relationship (but it obviously
also deteriorated in the long run).

On the Fanderson group, someone thought this might have been
a continuity issue, but I disagree.  I think they deliberately
showed Henderson and Straker having a better relationship
at the time of SHADO's formation, to contrast with their
"current" (1980) relationship.
