Interesting, but no cigar. The Boeing 777 cracking issue was a serious issue, but did not warrant grounding the entire fleet of 777s. The aircraft on which the issue was first detected had accumulated far more cycles than the accident aircraft. While it's possible for a decompression incident to have disabled electrical and flight systems and disrupted communications, that certainly doesn't explain why the aircraft vanished from the air and went AWOL, and neither does it explain the other strange goings-on.
A minor possibility, and inadequate as an explanation of the whole bizarre episode.
