They've mentioned in another thread on another forum that it is perfectly normal.....though I don't recall the reasoning.

From what I read it is just the joint cutting off excess material.

It is perfectly normal. Most tight joints like that will allow for a little bit of creep which ends up showing as almost a slight o ring of material. With our new joints, we just hid it. But, we still expect it to happen.. LOL.
