This always occurs after an accident. The "Pointless Hypothesis based on Hearsay" of people who weren't there come out of the woodwork and second guess what happened. They are the real fucking morons.
I had a similar problem when lowering using the Black Diamond ATC Guide. I was able to recover quickly so it didn't result in an accident but the person I was lowering got a sudden quick ride that I'm sure she didn't appreciate.
I was lowering exactly how BD shows in their video. So if you use one of these be careful. It is very easy to get the lower out of control with a slight tug. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/belay-rappel/atc-guide
