When the slide chambers a round, the next one in line gets dragged forward a little in the feed lips. The bullet rests somewhere over the start of the feed ramp. When you drop the mag, the weight pulls down and the shell gets levered up and out of the feed lips.
With just a few rounds in the mag, I bet it doesn't quite want to fall free? Either that, or it comes out w/o dumping a round? Changing out the springs msy cure it. More tension holds the round under the feed lips so that it can't slip forward. Otherwise, perhaps that mag is worn to the point where the lips have spread slightly out-of-spec.
