I have never heard of that, but I suppose it could happen. I would try a google search if no one here pops in to help. If that does not help, call PSI on Monday. Be careful if you turn with it because a block of wood coming off a chuck is not a pleasant thing. Speaking from experience and band aids here

I have 3 PSI barracuda chucks that are similar to the PSI Utility chuck. I’ve never had a problem performing what you are trying. Have you tried to contact PSI tech support to see if they have any ideas for you to try?

I called PSI today and they were pretty much useless, kept transferring me to other people, never got a straight answer.
If you read some of the negative reviews for the chuck on the PSI website it's clear to see I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
Maybe I need to tighten it more but I'm afraid of putting too much stress on the wood.
Worst case scenario I have a buddy that will tap the adjustment ring for a set screw.
