5m Fairing + Clamshell Deploy = Explosion

[NJC2]

I just started playing KSP again after a long time off.  I don't like the stock fairing's confetti deploy, so I always set them to 2 sides and clamshell deploy.  With clamshell deployment, having too low of an ejection force causes the fairing to not clear the craft and either get stuck or crash into it upon deployment, destroying it.  I've found that the default ejection force of 100 is not enough to eject the other size fairings, so I have been using an ejection force of 500 without problem, until I built a craft today using the 5m fairing.

I tried a simple test to make sure it wasn't something wrong with my craft.  I used the tallest 5m diameter tank, put a 5m fairing on top and a probe core on top of it.  I created a simple fairing with nothing is inside it.  Set the fairing to 2 sides, clamshell deploy and ejection force of 500.  Sitting on the launch pad, deploying the fairing causes the fairing base to explode every time.  I lowered the ejection force until it no longer explodes and it seems fine at 400 and below.

I put engines under it and launched it.  I stuck to an ejection force of 400 and tried deploying it in different situations.  Deploying the fairing works fine sitting still or when not under accelerations, but deploying them them under acceleration they still explode somewhat randomly.

Edit: Oops, I thought I was in the support section, can a mod move this?
