I recently replaced the tensioner bearings. I had them pressed in by a local shop. A couple of weeks later, I discovered that the pulley ring that contacts the belt had 'walked off the bearings', moving in toward the engine so that only half of the belt was still on it. I called Delta and was told that he had heard of this before and recommends the use of Loctite 680 when installing the bearings. a friend of mine expressed amazement that there is no mechanical retension of the bearings. Am I missing something here?

It's quite normal to use press on bearings in this situation. You can easily do this with a bench vise in your garage and a large socket. It's not typical you need to resort to Loctite, but the mileage of the car will make a difference.
