No problem, I thought, just give it a bit longer. The pan of blue liquid I came back to confirmed my suspicion that there was a weak spot in the join between the two halves of the thing!
I think I've found my problem! A web search found several relevant sites, one of which gave instructions for doing the job in a microwave, which I followed to the letter, with the unfortunate result as described above.

Checking back on several other websites, most of them said "do not microwave"!
