Welcome to the broken nipple club - I'm a charter member. Only thing that I have found that helps is to use a hose clamp around the nipple to keep it from spreading while taping, and even that seems to be hit or miss. I've went to filling the complete nipple up with JB Weld, and forgetting about the pipe plug.
Ollie, that definitely is a super clean way of fixing the problem.
