This has been an...... Interesting week.
Updates to come I'm sure.

PS: no, I don't believe I changed the coolant with the new cap last year. But it had recently been flushed and serviced at the time.
Retro, sounds like you might have some air bubbles in the system. Did you try flipping up the release valve?
