Might be a couple things.
Sometimes the notch on the ejector is not cut long enough. The travel of the ejector is stopped by the lock pin. The ejector does not hold the empty case firmly against the ID of the action and the case falls off the bolt head as soon as it clears the chamber. The fix is to file the notch back further by about .020".
Might also be a sloppy extractor. Fred explains it better than I could...

Either way, you might need a little reference...
