Re. the broken bolt. Always check the bolt as breakages are not uncommon, however it is very important to NOT tighten the bolt fully. Just leave a little float. If the bolt is tight the caliper expands when hot at a much greater rate than the bolt which causes the bolt to snap.
You are also right as I suffered just this failure last Saturday even with the bolt running loose, one of the pads escaped at the very moment I most needed them to do their job, the result was not pretty, neither are the bruises!!
