I don't buy the heat argument. High temps don't cause cracking. Rapid, uneven heating or cooling does. I'm betting there was a stress concentration there from either something on the back of the pad or foreign material.

I've cooked enough pads, rotors, and piston seals over the years to pay for my retirement, and I've never seen anything like that.
