Hi Adam ...

sounds like the cap failed and did exactly what you imagined...   the
higher amp draw would be similar to a transformer primary wound with too
few winds...

if you still have access to the cap... break it open and look for carbon
arcing or a hole between the dielectric ...even tho you cooked it there
should still be signs of internal damage from the arcing..
