I have read the same, though I would stress that it was in the same context as you, "
I heard..." and not from shooters who own one.
See here -

I've been a hairs breadth from buying one too from a colleague at my LGS who is a straight shooter on these matters. If there is a problem with item X he'll tell me straight up. He's never mentioned the ejection problem and has a safe full of 85's and T3's.
If you are seriously considering and have the money available, I say go for it.
See you on the firing line.
