LuganoPirate, seems that RR believe they know why the engine exploded, as in the story above I posted, they mention:

But Rolls-Royce is now apparently confident it has identified the problem that caused an A380 engine to explode near Singapore in November: a manufacturing glitch that produced misbored oil tubes. The misalignment in the boring process meant one side of the tube wall was thinner. Cracking in this area is believed to have been the source of oil leaks that caused a fire in the engine and the disintegration of a turbine disc.
