But is it a bug or network saturation under people wishing each others a happy new year? (And Perhaps more so with a selfie than a text msg as prev yrs)

Given that it's cdma, moat likely the user was in the US or thereabouts, so the leap second was several hours before local new year.

Happy new year at midnight UTC ... in the Pacific timezone?

Doubtful. :) I've observed a similar outage at the last leapsecond (and in that case, dropped me off a call-- which is why I even checked this time.)
