I too have had this problem.  It happens on occasion, with the standard RR configuration (8 plastic frames fitted with rings and foundation, spacer boards held firmly in place with springs).  On occasion, the bees will brace the face of the completed comb to the plastic frame.  When that round is removed, the face of the comb gets torn off and the completed section becomes a flawed second that leaks into the contained when the covers are put on the section.  An opaque cover will hide this flaw, but the comb still leaks.

How to keep the bees from attaching the face of the comb to the plastic frame is the question.  Fortunately this happens only on an occasional comb, it is not a regular occurence.  But it is disappointing to have an otherwise perfect comb relegated to second when it does happen.
