Andrew,
I have pushed some 10:1's to this point before, large shock loads make this start happening. The pins on the 10:1 are so close to the spline that this is the failure mode/the plate may also crack.
Obviously the CIM and Mini-CIM are use at your own risk, otherwise the loading guide is your friend.
