I wonder what the breakdown voltage would be between the primary and secondary 
of such a transformer, and what might happen to it of the tower took a direct 
strike  (tower bonded to the sub-panel)?


That's the BIL rating of the transformer.

"thousands of volts" is pretty much the minimum.

You'd have a transient suppression (spark gap) on both sides.
