We experimented at Huge aircrash back in that '70s with torque to pressure and got not repeatable results until the bolts were lubed. Anti sieze wasn't common except for copper sulfate, but most either prevented dissimilar corrosion fretting or provided a lube effect.

My suspicion is your bolt was over torqued and it's head failed after granular corrosion.
