If I had to pick one thing I think it could be, I'd say its poissibly under pitched. WLP 530 is a true top cropping yeast and as such, if your starter blows off heavily (as mine did) I think you lose far more yeast than you may realize. I think the same thing may happen to people who ferment this beer with very little headspace in the fermentor... While you think all the soldiers are in the heat of battle, the majority are going AWOL out the blow-off before the hard work is done.
That's just a guess though...
