SD1M Battery Hatch and Wasabi Battery

I have a question about the fit of the 2300 mAh Wasabi battery "For Minolta NP-400, Pentax D-L150". Although these batteries fit the SD14 without a problem, the SD1M hatch cover has a different design with a catch that turns to lock the cover closed.

When the Wasabi is installed, the catch tightens and does not "click" fully closed leaving the catch protruding from the cover, albeit very slightly.

Has anyone noticed this, found the cause and fixed it?

The battery overall dimensions are the same - with the Wasabi being, if anything, slightly smaller.
