Is it possible that they claim they used a "new internal model" to provide an excuse for "training" on new user data, knowing full well this new user data will include Buckmaster's chat?

So the entire "new internal model" is 'parallel construction' in criminology speak to justify spying on Buckmaster's work in a legal way.

If that turns out to be true somehow, they will also say that their TOS probably covers that anyway so it is not their fault.

It doesn’t seem this is a question of ToS though. I would hope it is abundantly clear to anyone and everyone:

THEY’RE USING YOUR DATA

As they involve themselves directly, explicitly in the process of scientific research and discovery, it becomes a question of scientific and professional ethics.
