I'll take a guess.

The envelope please... I'll say it is the DI cassette. One cylinder stopped working (vibration as in a 3 cylinder engine), the unburned gasoline ended up in the catalytic converter, the catalytic converter got cherry red from burning all that gas and started burning the undercoating and anything else close. After sitting in the parking lot, the DI cassette cooled down and healed itself (sometimes happens), and the car runs normally.
A second possibility would be a stuck open injector, although that results in a rich condition rather than raw gas going to the cat.
