The North Korean state would swiftly collapse into warlordism, with the ROK likely proceeding to invade on the pretext of restoring order.

North Korea descends into a Civil War through the ensuring power struggle. China launches an intervention in the North with Russian support, allying with pro-PRC leaders and warlords. South will launch her own intervention with American support, and likely Chinese consent, reabsorbing chunks of North Korea. A new North Korean State will eventually emerge, it's southern border on the Taedong River.

Pyongyang will become a UN Disaster Zone.

You've basically formulated a scenario so miserable and horrible that it's an achievement.
 
According to the north korean media they tested their first hidrogen bomb: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/06/asia/north-korea-hydrogen-bomb-test/

My question is: What if some accident happens, causing the detonation of one of these bombs inside north korea, in a region that would allow the impact (or at least the radiation) to make Pyongyang unnabiatable even kill/immobilize Kim Jong Un, what would happen?

When I read the title I was thinking North Korea bought a lot of Acme explosives and that they went off by accident.

I think that'd be pretty likely. Not sure how much direct American support there would be, but the some portions of NK would likely invite SK in. China would move into the North to quell any instability along its border.

Eventually things may settle to an area that formally becomes part of SK, a part that's under tantamount control of China, and a central section (including the remnants of Pyongyang) that's a UN protectorate. The protectorate could eventually become a new country (possibly reclaiming some/all of what China controlled) but it might just join SK eventually since they know what it's like to be repressed and starving and decide SK looks pretty good.
