Worst case get some emery cloth or sand paper to rough up the water pump fitting. You could also pick up some of the silicone belt and hose dressing to help it adhere to the water pump and radiator.

If nothings cracked or collapsing on itself, I really can't think of anything else. Another thought could be that the hoses were degrading from the inside out getting saturated with coolant rendering them slippery when in contact with plastic and metal.

I know its rare, but I almost wonder if its got a HG leak and is pressurizing the coolant system.

I've only seen this happen once around my area, it is a possibility though. Let's hope it's not the case.
