Jake,
Looking at the shaft it appears to be bent. I would expect it to show signs of a twist break, could it be the hex shaft had an unseen internal crack? I can"t see why it would fail unless the oil pump locked up causing the failure. It obviously failed while running, could 60 psi of oil pressure stress snap this shaft?
Then again you did say "It was a 3.6 built from a 3.2 that was making 355 flywheel HP and revved as fast as a Carrera GT...". If it does rev that fast I could see a failure being imminent.
