Likely one person that placed a market order

I don't think you can place market orders after hours.

It could have been a deliberate limit order to avoid a margin call by raising the mark-to-market value of an account.

That sounds like an expensive mistake -- BRK.B doesn't show anywhere near the same price movements.

One does not simply place a market order during after hours trading...
