If it is, it's an overreaction.
It's possible someone doesn't understand that while the wallet encryption issue is important, it's not a problem with the bitcoin protocol or overall network security.
You'd think someone with so many bitcoins would take the time to understand this though - so it seems a little unlikely to me that this is the reason.
If it wasn't a panic kneejerk reaction to the wallet issue, then the seller presumably either needed their local currency in a real hurry and so couldn't wait to maximize their return by selling more slowly, or they actually wanted the bitcoin price to jump down quickly.
