'Camera-shy' Raspberry Pi 2 suffers strange 'XENON DEATH FLASH' glitch

E.M.P. anyone ?

A xenon flash is caused by a massive discharge of a capacitor across the xenon-filled tube, so the resulting electromagnetic pulse might be the real culprit here...

Has anyone tried a camera with a LED flash yet ?

(Because I seriously doubt it's the light itself that causes the problem...)
