I've run across this before. When a transistor dies in a blaze of glory it can spread the copper from the traces around and embed it to the point that the PCB is conductive. One System 3-6 driver board was so conductive that I had to remove the PCB material until I could not measure significant continuity and then rebuild the area (read: hole) that I scraped away.
