Hi Ed,
         A good point to be careful on.  Typical symptom of tapping pins
with no pin block jack in place.
A definite no,no.    If you screw a piece of 1/4" steel plate to the top of
your jacks it will never happen.
I have also run into a number of grands that have been repinned with 2 1/2"
pins instead of 2 3/8" showing the same problem.
