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.
