I read that the plane was bought new in February, delivered at the end of March and Larry Glazer bought one of the first 3 planes built of this new model. He was upgrading from a TBM-700 that he had.  Here's some info on the plane from a Rochester paper: 
"He said the aircraft — the first single-engine, pressurized-cabin turboprops ever made, and still the fastest such airplanes in the world — have not been troubled by incidents of this type.

"I'm not aware of any history of anything like this happening with a TBM," he said.

While a loss of cabin pressure can lead to a precipitous loss of oxygen, Knott said TBM-900s are equipped with backup oxygen supplies. A mask is located immediately behind the pilot's seat."

So he did have oxygen available thus it would appear to me that the pilot couldn't totally ascertain what the problem was not to have used it. Being a new plane and Mr Glazer's experience with the earlier model of the same plane, it sure seems that there was a serious issue with the plane itself.
