[1000mp] Minor moderately high speed keying problem

Just noticed a keying problem on my Mk V of 20 months (new). 
When I key (internal keyer) a sequence consisting of my call with a 
short break ( chasing K1B ) on the second and succeeding bursts, 
my dits seem to be speeded up and the timing is off a bit 
demonstrating a bit of erratic behavior.

If it was RF I would think it would show on the first burst. Maybe 
insufficient shielding of the paddle cables.

Not worth complaining to the factory. Often, in a net operation, I use 
a computer to key the radio and displays perfect character timing. 

Curious if others may have noticed something similar.
