The t-stat could have jammed, tho it normally jams the other way -- the car doesn't heat up fast enough.
Did they test the cap itself? I think they actually remove it for the pressure test (that's how they put the pressure in).
The gauge is wired to read 9 o'clock dead for a wide range of temps, you could have been at the high end of normal and if the cap wasn't holding enough pressure, it would have barfed. Then the loss of pressure causes boiling and it barfs worse.
