I was under the impression that since an H valve has a single burst disk for both firsts, it isn't considered redundant.

At least with a doubles set up with a manifold, if one disk fails, you can isolate that tank protecting your remaining air supply.

When I was in the OP's stage of diving, I looked at the H valve, because I wanted redundancy. It didn't provide it and I'm currently diving a single configuration with a slung pony.

The safety is there to protect the tank, not a regulator. I am not aware of any system (other than a true isolator/crossover) that if the safety goes, that it will not allow the tank to empty.

Would an example be someone diving doubles with Isolation Manifold, failing to open valve, breathing down one tank empty while their SPG shows a full tank?

Yes and another example would be only getting a 1/2 fill with the isolator closed at the fill station. Of course, all of these "operator errors" might be detected before they cause a problem, but they might not(and often haven't).
