With a bit of imagination you can picture the two crossing spokes pushing on the radial spoke of the triplet, which transmitts this to the edge of the flange. In reality the forces should be too small, and the the bracing angle far too small, for this to cause the failiure (IMHO). I've heard loads of postive reports regarding the quality of Goldtec hubs, maybe they are having problems controling this quality?
I'd be interested in seeing some stress images of some hubs with different lacing patterns. Surely there are some out there on the interwebs.
