I'm a doubler and my solution was to put a round felt or even a small cork disc on the thumb key. It seemed that I was unintentionally lifting my thumb off that key particularly when using the register key. What I experienced might be somewhat similar to what your customer is talking about.

On a similar situation, I have added a felt/cork disc to the Bis key on my Yamaha tenor. It seems that Yamaha does not have the Bis key height the same as the B key. I asked my tech about it and he said "Yamaha has made them that way..."

Maybe related but...
