That could be part of the problem. NiCD cells will handle much more abuse that NiMH. As you have said.

Some people may be treating NiMH cells as though they are NiCD cells. NiMH cells have a much lower tolerance to temperature and overcharge than NiCD cells do. Which is probably why NiMH cells have started exploding. Which was something that never happened in the past.
