It doesn't appear to be exclusive to MSD. I had a similar problem on a Mallory dual point. The carbon center terminal literally disinigrated leaving carbon dust particles all over the inside of the cap. The resultant arcing caused a backfire thru the carb. Unknown to me, simultaneously, a fuel line had loosened and the result was a nasty fire.
