Yeah. I've noticed it a few times. I thought it was me. Happens regularly on every s2k I've owned too. Used to think it was the gear boxes, until i notuced ot in my spyder.
I've thought recently that I might be was letting clutch release too fast when doing second gear shifts.

You are shifting to low. Even when cold there is no reason to ever shift your car below 4000rpm. There's a huge gap between the ratios on 1 and 2. What is happening is that since you haven't sped the gears up enough before you make the shift, the synchros are having to work extra hard to speed up 2nd gear before it can engage it. This will be most pronounced when the gearbox is cold. Raise your shift rpms by 500-1000 and I bet you problem goes away completely.
