I can see if a bad VR caused an overcharge the spewing could happen in which case they (Optima) may not cover in their warranty. I think if it was grounded out it would sooner melt the cables than make the battery puke. I honestly think you have a charging issue or overcharging issue to be exact.
All optimas are good batteries in my opinion. Blues are expensive as heck and are built to last in the harshest environments.
If push comes to shove and you have no choice in the matter I would look around town again to see if you can find this battery, purchase it and return the bad one after a day or two.
The last time I had a battery explode I lost my car to fire. Not fun.
