skullclamp and oblivion stone

The other night I played a league game on MTGO in which this occured:

I had a creature equipped with Clamp. My opponent played a Stone,
tapping it and destroying all non-land permanents, including my clamp
and its equipped creature. I expected to draw two cards, but the "draw
two cards" triggered ability never popped up on the stack. Why not?

Thanks,
-Trevor.

Skullclamp
{1}
Artifact -- Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/-1.
When equipped creature is put into a graveyard, draw two cards.
Equip {1} ({1}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a
sorcery. This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the
creature leaves play.)

Oblivion Stone
{3}
Artifact
{4}, {T}: Put a fate counter on target permanent.
{5}, {T}, Sacrifice Oblivion Stone: Destroy each nonland permanent
without a fate counter on it, then remove all fate counters from all
permanents.

It should. The game looks back in time to determine what triggered. If this
ability did not trigger, please file a bug report with the game number at:

?? Since the Clamp and the creature were destroyed at the same time, the
Clamp ability still should have triggered - it's a "leaves play" triggered
ability. If you recorded the game you might play it back and look closely...
