Granted he's putting the vast majority of his light, not on his subject and he isn't going to be getting any bounce off the ceiling/walls. But, he may still have some small amount of light projecting toward the subject. Was it a "clear" one that would allow some specular light to project toward the subject, or was it a more diffuse "white" one? Did he have a "chrome dome" mounted in it?
Is it possible that he may not be using the flash for exposure purposes, but to provide a reflective catch light in their eyes only (while shooting them in open shade that would not) or to give a little "twinkle" to specular aspects of the jewelry/dress. Or maybe it is just enough to add a "kiss" of white light to help with color balance in shadow areas without impacting exposure or creating much of a "flash" shadow.
Just a bit of brainstorming ... sometimes it is the oddest little thing that we do, that makes a diff at what we achieve. As such, I'm inclined to wonder if maybe he had a reason for the "madness", before I fully discount it as utter foolishness.
