I didn't break a nipple, I broke a spoke!
The threaded medal insert that screws into the nipple broke. Topolino tells me that all the spokes on one side of the wheel will need to be replaced. I only have about 700 miles on these wheels so I am a little disenchanted with Topolino right now. Topolino tells me that this sort of failure is rare.
So, I am on my back up wheels--Mavic CXP 33s. They do feel harsher than the Topolinos but not too bad. But I do notice the road feel more.
