Bubbled Pex - DF

In 15+ years of installing pex in radiant systems, I have yet to run across this - until now. Luckily, the GC caught it before the dry-pack stone mud base went down. He claims "it just happened".
I am not so sure it "just happened". The tubing was under 100 PSI air pressure. There was a lot of steel on this project and think a welder dropped a red ant which hit the tubing just right and melted it. Pure speculation,but it is the best I can come up with. Any thoughts? -DF
