You're misunderstanding. The hole in the chainring is too ovalized and now the crank slips in it a bit. It might get worse but certainly not bad enough to fail (unless the chainring folds, which would be unrelated).
What I'm saying is the JB Weld will probably loose bondage on the second or third application of backpressure. It's just not designed for that application.
