The fracture could have been excelerated by the heat from the weld at the collar.  I have done pretty much the same, but placed a good three to four feet inside the larger section filled with cement.  Makes for a very heavy tower, but has removed all vibrations.  I am in the process of moving this tower, and once I head back out to the house will take a few photos.

But I do agree that extra support from the upper and lower portions can never hurt.  The stonger your support, the less problems you will face. :-)
