Depends if that was the cause or the effect.

I don't think a high voltage low loss capacitor could easliy be damaged
by another fault in that sort of circuit, but it might have *caused*
other damage.

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.

Those didn't look like the sort with such features.
