I questioned how the piece essentially swam back upstream into the motor, but Dinan assured me it's surprisingly plausible - someone whose opinion I value beyond measure. He/his shop verified no other failures (not intake, valvetrain, head, block, etc) anywhere else.

As time permits, I'll go into more depth with a writeup.
