I've seen something like this in the 505 and later Peak 1 
descendents.  However, I never associated it with overpressure. 
There's a place underneath the burner where fuel sometimes gets 
squirted the wrong way - I've assumed it's due to dirt in the fuel 
nozzle.  Once it was due to someone getting their stove bonked in 
travel and the alignment of the nozzle was out - quickly fixed (once 
it all cooled down) with a multitool.
