My guess is there 'was' an 'Insert' to face the dropout properly and take the skewer abuse (which fell off?) , which would account for the excess space in the dropout.
I wouldn't be using a QR with a serrated cap until some metal facing has been put back in place. That QR will eat the remainder of that dropout quickly...

EDIT: And the insert might also sleeve the inside of the Dropout, reducing the excess space and also taking the direct load off the dropout carbon. A good hard thump I can could see that dropout end cracking enough to loose a wheel.
