2. The innermost layer(s) of carbon are still attached to the top lug save for a small section at the top.

Thanks for the additional pics Tim. At least I now know what the inner male stub part of the lug looks like. Interesting that it is 'V' shaped. Seems odd that there appears to be no glue residue whatsoever where the piece of the top tube came off - just shiny alloy.
This vid has been going viral and shows another carbon failure - the fork blades shear off at some point during this crash .... looks like
maybe that piece of scrap aluminum he hit got caught in the spokes and then flung around and sliced right through the forks.
