I think the effect of boiling is negligible because air dissolves back into the water as the water cools. I don't understand your radial pattern argument. When I look closely at the lineations in the ice I see that the streaks are composed of individual spheroid voids. Not sure how fracture could do that.

You can pour water straight from the kettle into the trays and cover it.

In that photo I see a few gas bubbles, but it is dominated by radial expansion fractures and cloudy high pressure ice in the center. That ice will crack when put in water. Clear ice does not crack.
