I could see a leak losing pressure, less than a blowout, then rolling the tire cornering hard with 30 pounds or so pressure left.

I've crashed in a crit from a tire in the process of going flat in a turn.
Certainly a possibility, I suppose, but I wasn't aware of the tube going flat before it exploded. And I have no idea if the tube exploded and then the tire rolled or vice versa - it felt simultaneous to me.
