I'd say the extractor is probably dropping the case and the ejector is not able to hit hard enough to cleanly eject, as the extractor loses its grip on the rim. Check extractor tension first. Also, if it is an internal extractor make sure it is not rotating (clocking) slightly within its tunnel. A clocking extractor will extract inconsistently, brass will be flung in multiple directions and some of it will not make it out of the port.
To check for a clocking extractor. Remove the slide and barrel, while looking at the rear of the slide and watching the back of the extractor, push a shell up under the extractor hook (simulates a round feeding) and watch for the extractor to rotate a little. If it does, then you definitely will need an oversize firing pin stop.
Check the extractor hook to see if there is a radius on the bottom edge of the hook. This radius allows the shell to exit at a slight upward angle. A hook with a 90 degree (or real close to 90 degree) angle will not allow the shell to rotate up and out, just hard right.
