Do all the dampers lift together in unison with the sustaining pedal or do some of them act similar to the one you are describing? My first thought was the same as the others, that it might be catching on a neighboring damper or excess glue that has been there forever or that might have come from another tuner re-gluing that same damper felt. My next thought is a possible broken damper hanger or plastic parts.

I did check damper timing with the pedal, and the pedal adjustment. damper won't lift when the key is depressed, but does fine with bass sustain is depressed. I'd be suprised if it wasn't a spoon, Damper spring tension seems good also.
