This is all correct, as far as my experience goes - but what Claudio was talking about was not in relation to the normal charge cycle of LiPo batteries. He was saying that if one of the batteries happened to develop a fault whilst unattended (for example an internal dielectric breakdown, or some other rare but possible fault) then if the battery was encased in a gas-tight box, then it would indeed get noisy and messy some seconds later.
