My thoughts exactly. The only thing that comes to mind is what you surmised — that it must have been an overly strong ejection charge to blast the nose cone out so hard as to stretch the shock cord out to its limit, and have the nose cone then get retracted so strongly that it gets embedded in the tube. Sideways is odd!
