Much more often than not, I think the term "cap bust" refers to a "clear sky" / "blue sky" bust. That is, the cap was too strong (relative to the degree of forcing) to allow for convective initiation. Though there are many setups that are go unrealized, at least in terms of our prior expectations, as a result of too little capping for the amount of forcing, I don't think many would use the term "cap bust" to describe such situations.
