The slightly more open bunching of the LP would make it easier for this stub tail to make a noticeable divot in the filler bunch.
Next time you cut a cap off that way and find a divot in the filler, take a look at the inside of the cap, the inward projecting "tail" should be visible.

I have noticed this on many an Undercrown, as well as some other brands. Very interesting info, I hadn't really given it much thought until I read this.
As far as LPs, I don't smoke a ton of them due to price/HTF, but I've never had one that didn't smoke perfectly.
