My point is that the problem appears to be at the cap, but it could be a symptom and not the root cause.

Well hell, there are a ton of things it could be....the cap is the easiest fix which is always the best way to start. I've never seen a head gasket issue blow a radiator cap out, but then again I've seen head gaskets go on almost every other manf. aside from BMW.
