Yeah, the cells are most probably ok judging by your readings, but I would suspect the charger or connections.

What I personally suspect is that one of the balance wires is making intermittent contact. So, instead of seeing two cells at 3.7v each, it sees "one" cell (which is actually two) at 7.4v. This could be caused by dirty balance tap connectors, poor solder job (in the pack itself, the charger, the cable connecting the two), malfunctioning circuit, etc.
