In my research before I bought and R92 in .45 colt I recall coming across discussions of some .38 special rounds having trouble feeding properly because of the slight difference in length. Given that these R92's are not built to particularly tight tolerances I am not surprised to hear that. I have a feeling that is a situation that will vary from gun to gun.
I never heard of catastrophic failures, but my research has been far from exhaustive. I wouldn't worry about it though, if it happened more than once we would have all heard about it by now.
