I don't think the original question got answered after all that.
It sounds like when your pushing the air lock all the way down (i.e. as far it will go) you are streching the grommet a little bit (and it does take much to create a leak).
When the air lock is only partially inserted the grommets seals nicely around it.
Even the tiniest leak will result in zero air lock activity, remember gases are lazy and follow the path of least resistance. Your air lock has water in it (resistance) the leak does not, hence that is where the gas goes.
