I'd stop fretting about cam chain.
The cam chain on the Fazer isn't prone to stretching beyond its service limits, so it's unlikely to have got slack and jumped a tooth without you noticing some rattle noise beforehand.
Because of the design of the tensioner, if it fails, it's a "hello, valves, say 'hi' to the pistons" type of event. I think you'd find that hard to miss.
May be pure coincidence, but what Hotmetal experienced seems to fit your symptoms. Where is the bike right now? Who is running diagnostics on it? The insurance company responsible for the repatriation clearly don't have a scooby, so get to the man who does and ask him.
