It's a problem with the saddle's design. If they don't want it pushed that far back, then they should make it so it does not go that far back.
Say I came up with some new big water bottle that still fit in a regular cage, but could hold a gallon of water. Then I sold a bunch of them and some of them cracked and leaked when filled to capacity. Would it then be OK to keep selling the bottles as long as I sent a disclaimer saying "It says one gallon, but it's really only good for three quarts. Furthermore, if you need more than three quarts, then maybe you should examine your whole water carrying system"?
