I had the same thing happen to me once when there was a 1500 watt heater plugged into that circuit. In my case I could see a haze in the room and hallway as well as smell it melting, but I caught it in time. I wire new houses all the time and also do plenty of repair on older houses. I can't count the number of times there have been problems with outlets that have not been tailed out. That is not to say that I haven't had a pigtailed wire "unscrew" itself as I was pushing it back in the box, but that is more due to not twisting the wires together tight enough. Also if you do enough of anything something will mess up. My vote is on pigtailing them out for safety and troubleshooting ease, however here there is no code prohibiting doing it the other way.
