Ive seen it happen a handful of times, most of the time is because of a hitched weight or a bent arm at the start of the pull. its always the hand with the reverse grip.
most powerlifters do very little/no bicep work so that could have something to do with it. Also, stretching the biceps i feel is going to help in avoiding a tear.
just a risk powerlifters take, in the whole scheme of things a bicep tear isn't a big deal.
