A good point. If someone has thrown a replacement firing pin spring in there that is not appropriate, (too strong) for the gun, the force required to set the FP upon closure could certainly be causing this.
It may be right on a mechanical tipping point, where it will set the FP when not trying to pick up and chamber a bullet but not when tasked with this extra work.
