I've only heard of this happening when someone touches the open side of the primer, oils from your fingers slow the burn. never heard of it happening on mag primers tho, thought they where too strong or something, guess not.
MYTH! Old wives tale, myth. Primers are nearly impossible to De-activate with oil of any kind. Many tests with primers soaked in various oils, water, solvent, then dried off, they still fired.

Plated bullets are difficult to get a good grip on. The plating is no-where-near as thick as a good jacketed bullet. Then the absence of a cannelure,("the line that goes around the bullet like on the jacketed bullets"), prevents a good crimp.
