So far I'm running on the unproven assumption that they hadn't lit yet, and
that this happened during propellant transfer. (As always, I reserve the
right to be completely confused.)
Looks like you are correct. From Elon himself a few minutes ago:
"Loss of Falcon vehicle today during propellant fill operation.
Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause still unknown. More
soon."
