Have you tried to make a few motors after running a swab with either CA or white glue down to tubes to verify that the loose flap is indeed the problem? I can appreciate that this might be a lot of work to verify the problem, but it would add some verification when you talk with the tube manufacturer.
Just a thought from a non-engineer missile technician.

Good thinking. I had thought of that briefly and since you did too, maybe it is time to try it. I just have not figured out the best way of doing it. The tab is tight against the tube. It would have to be very viscous to seep under the edge. First attempt will be CA using an insulin needle from one end. If it runs out the other end, it will probably be a good check.
I am not ready to give up yet and appreciate any more suggestions.
