That's what leads me as well to believe it's the brake rather than spinning under power. The bike wouldn't step out like that even if he rolled the throttle on full.
I don't think the rear locked for some other mechanical problem, it's just too unlikely (and it worked afterwards, right?). I think the new rider is riding with his foot resting on the rear brake, and he doesn't realize how much pressure he added when the sunlight & turn spooked him. The bike was already leaning enough that after lockup, it stepped out quickly.
