I've been told that the ejection vector it can be correlated to BCG speeds and thus to gassing. Normal speed/gas would eject at the 3 o'clock with the higher velocity BCG ejecting in the forward quadrant. With a slower BCG the case would clear the port while the BCG is still traveling rearward and be projected rearward. All else being the same, I would expect a higher gas load to project forward. If you get too much gas too early, you will start to pickup ejector swiping.
My 30 RAR is a good example, new, was swiping the brass on factory loads and throwing the brass in front of the gun, so I replaced the gas block with an adjustable GB and solved the issue and saved my brass. That being said I wouldn't be too concerned as long as I am getting reliable ejection and no swipes.
