It's nothing that unusual. I would guess that sometimes when a very small road hazard punctures a tube the force of the air escaping could blow it out of the tire. As long as you know the problem was a road hazard and you've searched the inside as well as the outside (some suggest a cotton ball or soft cloth that will catch on hazards) just remount the tire and tube.
