Have you checked whether this particular passphrase has been part of a prior leak? You can check here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

It would be interesting to know whether our brainwallet sweepers are using publicly available password lists or have some pimped collections of their own.

Oh no — pwned!
This password has been seen 1,164 times before


Turns out it's not such a mysterious password after all; checking further, it appears in the password lists I downloaded. I thought my system had found it through mangling of lyrics (which it may have still done, independently). The password for 1GkGD48ucUKCwPkwRyH1bDLJTAdeHVn2xR is "loveisallyouneed"

Alright, that's slightly less worrying then.

I was expecting something along the lines of "l0ve1s4lly0un33d" or a 1337 version of "Hey Jude" which would have implied a far vaster lookup table. (assuming it isn't already. well, probably now it will be.)
