There is a bunch of new information in AvHerald, which adds both more clarity in some areas and not so much in others.
Apparently, the plane entered the pattern for 20 after being cleared to land on 02. TWR advised that there was another plane approaching 02 and that they cannot land on 20 and to hold there, the plane was making 360s north to the airport in a position where it would make the base leg to RWY 20. Then TWR informed that the other plane had landed and the RWY was clear, cleared the plane to land RWY 20, and asked if they had the RWY on sight. When the crew said "no", TWR cleared to land on RWY 02. The plane entered a left pattern for RWY 02 and asked if they were cleared to land, TWR affirmed. Then the plane was seen overflying the international terminal in a southwesterly direction and "lanidng" on the perpendicular TWY.
So maybe 3WE is right and something did happen in the downwind leg to RWY 02?
