I have to say, I was pretty stumped when I saw they had broken at the crossover. I've seen a bunch of broken spokes working in a shop, but cannot think of one incident broken there. Generally its the spoke head, followed by the threaded end, and then at the butting. Any mid spoke break has been due to damage from a crash or rock impact. It's certainly not uncommon for multiple spokes to go in short succession, as the first one popping stresses the neighbors. My guess is that there was some slight lateral play (loose tension) in the wheel and they had been slowly sawing away at each other. But if that's true, you should be able to see the same indication on the remaining spokes. If you push them apart, can you see any groves or gouges?
