If I were a betting man (I'm not)...
I'd bet the main reason for any Kb in semi-autos is bullet set-back. I know for a fact that I need to check my carry ammo (KelTec P3AT) on a regular basis. If I shoot a skunk (or try to) many times the follow-up bullet in the magazine will do a mini nose dive into the ramp...not a full blown FTF, rather a hic-up.

When I get home and check the magazine and re-load...once in a while I'll see the chambered bullet with some set-back. It's not an always thing. It may be how I held the gun, it may be how I loaded the magazine....but never-the-less, it does happen from time to time.

I would suggest with the MANY gazillions of G22s in the field that this may be the cause of the occasional Kb.

The use of high pressure cartridges certainly makes set-back a danger as the envelope is not real deep.

And yes folks.....this is pure speculation.
