The situation with cracked screen was revealed by Rafael Rivera on Twitter (via ONMSFT), who pointed to Reddit threads discussing the problem.

No-one has an answer for what is causing the problem, but the obvious reason would be a hardware flaw. Microsoft has not yet officially addressed this problem and it will be interesting to see how widespread it is.
