Doubtful an armchair mech. might solve the total riddle.
The purpose of the High Pressure cut-out is to protect the compressor and components from just that, excessive head pressure. Excessive head pressure in itself causes increased amperage draw of the compressor. You noted most of the typical causes of excessive head pressure. Generally air flow is number 1, In a Heat Pump, depending on the cycle of operation (heating / Cooling) there could be any number of possible culprits.
With multi-stage capacity there must be some means of increasing air flow / volume when the second stage is energized. Via another fan(s) or increasing fan speed(s)
It's possible in moderate temps that a defrost cycle went awry, it's entirely possible that a reversing valve plunger hung during a portion of the cycle. HP's operate under a lot of variables, relays and controls, some can be... well, finicky. You'll no-doubt be monitoring it's operation closely could have been a fluke.
Best of luck.
