Klipsch RP-502s and wallmounts using the threaded insert

Hi.
I use the Klipsch RP-502S using wall brackets that connect through the threaded insert, according to the manual it's 3/8-16 x 0.5".

I am using the Konig & Meyer 24185 wall mount: Speaker wall/ ceiling mount

 

These use the exact same threaded connector and held the speaker upright without any problems.

However the material surrounding the threaded insert started to bubble up. The dealer replaced the speakers with new ones, but I am afraid this will happen again once I hang the new 502s. Was this an isolated case with a defective speaker or is the threaded insert not meant to carry the weight of the speakers?

I'm looking to mount a pair of these same speakers, possibly using the same mount, but after seeing your post I am very hesitant. What was the end result after receiving the replacement? Was the stressed threaded insert a one-time issue?
