dellac said:Thumb of 2013-12-02/dellac/dfb772 A couple of sepals on Loreto somehow became unhinged at the base, stopped growing (of course), and were carried on upwards connected still at the tip of the bud. Never seen such a thing happen before!

All the extra water you've been having makes them overly turgid and brittle (cells so full of water that they have no give) . Although I've never seen that sepal scenario before (and thanks for sharing), I think you will find that all parts of the plants are relatively brittle also, and easier to snap when bent.
