The only thought I had was a small cut in the insulation which took a while for a full short to form? Can it even work that way?

It could if there was some vibration that shook the wire against whatever was cutting it. All it would take would be a strand or two exposed that made intermittent contact. Those could heat up at each touch of the metal and destroy more insulation. It would cascade and increase the contact to the point it was a solid connection and the whole thing burned.
