Shorting the tip and ring does not cause the problem (I actually use shorting on t/r to cancel the door phone ringing).
I was figuring that perhaps the tip or ring was being shorted with one of the data pair lines. For example, what if the t/r was connected to a data pair, then ring voltage came along the t/r??? The only other kxt shorting problem I saw was a melt down on a 66 block and 25 pair cable in a boiler room. Insulation was melted away and all conductors were shorted. This blew out 4 digital connections on an expansion card (analog connections still worked). (An old Intertel system I worked on would actually blow the main ksu fuse if you even plugged in a 2500 set to the station jacks!!! -that was bad design!)
