I once had a CV break free from it's axle, and it failed in a similar fashion. The splines on the end of the axle shaft had rusted out, and the whole CV assembly was spinning freely. Or rather, the axle was spinning freely within the CV. Everything was still "together" so I couldn't see anything wrong until I jacked up the car and noticed that one of the axles wasn't turning when I rotated the rear wheel.
