Yes the voltage regulator could go bad and overcharge the battery. What was the amp meter doing? normally it will show a high charge right after starting and then as the battery gets charged the ampmeter reading should drop down.

usually when a battery explodes I think that you have to have excess gassing as from overcharging and a spark to provide ignition.

when you get everything cleaned up and install a new battery, check your charging rate

A high charging rate could be caused by having the generator field circuit grounded. could be in wiring running to reg or in the generator itself.

Good luck, keep us posted as to what you find.
