Anyone had a problem with the Nightcrawler mechs on XMLE sticking up?

It seems like this has been an issue for a while now, but one of the NC mechs on my XMLE is stuck in the up position. The release coil fires, but it doesn't seem to be strong enough to pull the latch off the plunger when the mech is resting on it. I'm thinking I just need to bend things a little to get them working again, but it seems like a really precarious balance between "enough to hold the target up" and "too much friction for the release coil to overcome". Has anyone else come up with a better fix for these, or is it just a consequence of a crappy mechanical design?
