Both caps have
the negative connected to the same source from the power supply and both have their
positives connected to ground. In other words, the negs of both caps are connected

Which is WRONG ! Read the diagram !

The negative of C311 should be grounded together with the POSITIVE of C313

Possibly a pcb legend error. I've known it happen.

The OP wrote that "the corresponding cap in the other *channel* [C312]
does not blow", not the other *rail*.
