Sounds like your chain line was bad? Small ring, maybe, and a middlin' cog? The larger cog caught the chain and levered it up and apart. Same chain length and a single cog in the right location should be fine. I use 9sp chains on my single/dingle/fixed bikes, and once I learned you can't use a pin tool to put them back together, I've had no issues.
