What I don't understand is how the beans sprouted. They didn't fall out of the bag into moisture (or light!). They were dry, somehow they sensed the water in the jug? And they poked through. The hole was self-plugged, the jug was actually collapsed from the pressure of the water being pulled out without a second air escape hole. It didn't flood the closet because it was just being slowly sucked out to feed the sprouts.
