I can't tell you why, but I can tell you what I did to get around it.
I think the base problem is technique. I tried more O2, less O2, more
fuel, less fuel. It wasn't too little O2, in fact, if anything there
was too much, cranking back on pressure helped. Finally, I tried just
barely weaving the the torch left right as I cut and that solved it for
me.
