I just checked seven mags sharing the same follower design, presumably from the same manufacturer, and none has a burr there.

I had a couple of instances of the slide running home without having activated the slide release, thinking maybe "the burr" was preventing complete slide stop/release engagement in the slide, but it must be something else.
