The glitch is the result of Mewtwo having its reflector broken while grabbing another character; with the animation interrupted, the code to release the victim is never reached, and since Mewtwo was not attacked and damaged the general "release victim when hit" code is not run (since the start of a shield/reflector break is a different state altogether). As Mewtwo is the only character with a move that grabs and reflects simultaneously, no other character can use the glitch.

The soul stunner variant is likely due to conflict over which character Mewtwo is currently grabbing - as normally one can only grab one opponent at a time, the game is unlikely to try and apply all the necessary code to multiple grabbed characters.

It is therefore unclear why this doesn't occur with all four throws, though down throw does have the distinction of being Mewtwo's only multi-hit throw.
