But, what would cause this kind of corruption? Power discharge? Heat? Software?

to me, it sounds like it was a heat problem in conjunction with too many writing cycles. most people on the dashcam forums recommend reformatting the SD card every month or two to keep it fresh.
have you tried renaming the card through windows and personally deleting the files? I have never encountered a problem like yours though where the file size is larger than the actual card... worst case scenario is that the card is done for.
EDIT: I forgot to mention if you had ran the formatter programs as admin or not.
