Yep this could happen.  I have a piston from a 82 Buick 3.0 V6 that burnt
through when failing spark plug wires arced across one another. 

Other possible problems:

A oil control problem or a weeping head gasket.  The addition of liquid will
raise the compression ratio.

Poor mixture distribution, even though all the plugs looked lean and only one
piston burnt.  The burnt cyl may have the worst intake flow.

A restricted cooling passage in the head would cause localized high temps
inturn causeing spark knock.
