Good idea - see pics below. My new pin (www.n-pin.com) is shown there too.

I don't think it's string tension pulling it since the angle is to one side (how odd!). It could be a matter of mismatched taper or some sort of shim, but I've pulled it out in the past and it didn't seem unusual - just not straight.
