The Q was too high, it might be stable but only with the fuselage/lifting body surface in a deep stall. It just plain broke from overstressing it. Also, I believe stability changes with Mach, the SR-71 had to move fuel around to compensate for Mach tuck, but maybe that is just an over/under sonic thing and it stays stable as you get to higher Mach numbers.
