I don't think a high voltage low loss capacitor could easliy be

That sort of failure is outside my limited experience - I don't think
I've ever seen an exploded high voltage plastic capacitor IRL.

They're usuallly supposed to be self-healing. Film defects vaporise a
small region of the metallisation near them.
