The plastic tip is driven down the center of the lead and forces it apart...
Correct. Nosler tip inserts are in part specifically designed to initiate expansion by splaying the forward section.
The inserts have a conical/wedge shaped design mid-section to facilitate the process.

Well someone better call Nosler and tell them they are wrong. The tips part company only after they have been driven back some to initiate expansion. Then as expansion continues, material that once secured the tip in place will move away and release the tip.
