These are all helpful. Thanks! He does have the problem on linear passages as well as leaps. It's definitely a good idea for me to check his horn for insignificant leaks that may go unnoticed except for the high E. and to try playing his full set-up. I have done the harmonics work you mentioned with him but I'm interested in what happens when he plays double-lip. I agree with many of you that the tension he's having over it is probably now an increasing part of his issue and so I like the thought of having him use an alternate fingering. I'm looking through Ridenaur's fingering book and I see some possible fixes, if they are not too awkward for him to use.
