I don't know if only one would contact a piston, but it could create a hot spot for detonation, and that's what it looks like (as SB had said earlier)
Personally, if I pulled a spark plug and it looked like that, I would have pulled the head before it even cooled down.
I've blown a lot of stuff up, and replacing one piston is way better than waiting for it to go out the side of the block at 5000RPM
At the very least the electrode has gone somewhere, if it got pinched in the exhaust valve on the way out, that valve is going to fail as well.
