No big issue but though someone may want to know.

Know the feeling Ian, happens to me occassionally as well. I usually happens if I don't insert the eyepiece perfectly vertical to the shaft of the diagonal it will catch. Rather difficult to be perfect in the dark, just have to be careful.
Dunk your right about TV eyepieces, the undercut can be annoying, but it has saved my eyepieces on more than one occasion.
