I believe you were right the first time.

Although the result is perforation of the cylinder, it is caused by cavitation.

It is the IMplosion of the tiny microscopic bubbles that were formed by the process of cavitation that erodes the metal and causes the perforation.

The phenominon is not all that special, we have old ultrasonic cleaners at work that show evidence of the same thing. Seems like the bubbles always pick the same spot(s) and form there and eat away at the metal, stainless steel in that instance.
