My current suspicion is that the undestructible buildings are destroyed becuase this of this hit point value, and it changes as a result of Masonry giving +10% building hitpoints.

Researching hoardings detonates all castles in player’s posession.

In other words, any research that increases building HP detonates the “indestructible” buildings.
