The slide lock is not the confusing part, it's the round on top of the mag. The round should not leave the mag until the slide begins it forward travel and pushes it forward from the mag. Since the slide is locked to the rear, it seems inexplicable that the round has left the mag.

When you hand cycle and force this to happen, can you see what is causing the round to leave the mag during the rearward travel of the slide?

I'm wondering of the last round is not situated correctly in the mag (nose dive) and therefore the rim is sticking up higher then it should, as a result the slide hits the rim on the way back and pops the round out of the mag. If that's the case I would be looking at the magazine follows and mag springs. I don't see how this could be a recoil spring problem.
