I just was using a part tonight for something completely unrelated
and the data sheet had a warning that warned not to wave solder
the device unless it was first baked in an oven to remove water.

I think what happened was there was some humidity in the board
and your solder turned it into steam.
You may have to heat it for some hours before you solder it.
