About the slides not locking back, haven't encountered that yet (only put 2 mags through it so far though, no time to test it much yet) but I did note upon initial inspection that WE doesn't seem to believe in lube; the whole gun ships bone dry.

I went ahead and lubed up the valves on the good mag (silicone shock oil) and applied a thin coat of white lithium grease on contact areas between the slide and frame (something I do to all my GBBs, it makes a noticeable difference). That might help a bit.

Otherwise I'd guess it's related to pressure/mag cool down.

I'll be looking at it in more detail over the weekend.
