The last time I went up lamplighter, pretty much exactly the same thing happened to my leader. While moving past the slabby just of the belay bit on the second pitch, his foot slipped and he fell past the belay, basically tumbling backwards a couple of meters down the first pitch. He didn't have any gear in, but the fall was broken by the belay ledge, so I assume this would be much less than a factor 2 fall. There was no indication that he was having problems, so the fall was completely unexpected. Amazingly he just got up and started the pitch again, I'm not sure I would have done the same....
