Dear Andy, That is a weird failure. Is the chainstay/dropout/top eye broken or something to allow movement in the rear triangle?
Depending on your aesthetic needs, getting a competent framebuilder to replace the stay and primer/rattlecan the repair will be the low-rent way to get it fixed and back on the road. The paint will be more than the repair otherwise.
