Has anybody ever seen a case of hull failure due to blisters? I have
never heard of such.


I heard one story, but there were so many "heard it from"s that it could
well be an urban (nautical?) legend.

As I recall, there are some very close approximations on Dave Pascoe's
site..... http://www.yachtsurvey.com/blisters.htm On the main site, I
believe I saw a disintegrated powerboat that wasn't exactly blisters,
but was a close relative. Could also have been in one of the BOAT/U.S.
publications.
