A year or so ago I had the same problem with #3727. Looked to me like the brass insert was a bit too tight and stressed the knob.
No problem though since they promptly replaced it. I guess the person you talked to wasn't familiar other replacements. BTW, the replacement has been in service for about a year with no problems.
