This sounds like a couple of possibilities;
- The corner of the material and the template do not match causing the bit's cutter to contact the material where it should not.
- The flush bit is not truly flush (I've had this more often on bargain bits, never on a name brand).
- The "top" surface and the "edge" are not truly perpendicular; the router and bit have no way to compensate for this.
