At least it wasn't related to the battery. In the pictures the battery looks untouched.
The pictures are a little surprising sight. One hardly believes that there is a fire risk at such low voltages (as 3-4V).
The remedy would be to enforce the connector and make sure that the material next to the connector is heat and fire resistant. Some cooling fin or heat conducting material next to the connector would make sure such a thing would never happen.
I think the measure above are necessary because sometimes this scenario is unavoidable. The plug of the power cord and the power connector on the phone may have top notch quality. But if a small piece of plastic or other dirt gets wedged between one of the pins of the connector and the plug in such a way that we have a small resistance, development of heat will be inevitable.
So the best way is to design the connectors to take the heat or at least monitor the voltage of the power supply and give a warning if the voltage has weakened due to loose connection of the power cord. The former option would be preferable and more user friendly than the warning though.

there were actually 3 S3's that exploded before and Samsung deliberately denied it and they said it was pressure from the back pocket, and all those lame excuses.

Under New Zealand law it is the retailer that must replace the item and deal with their supplier. Is that not the same law in Ireland?
You can see why there are so many phone warranty issues.
