We also see the same issue.
What appears to be happening is that small 'ears' form on the crimped terminal because of metal getting squeezed into where it shouldn't, making it get a little stuck in the tool.
We keep the terminal cavities lightly greased, this nearly eliminates the problem. Just a little swipe with a q-tip that's greasy is enough.
