I have never had auto-releasing at any times, and I ski with a pack a
lot.  The only problem I've had is the reverse;  I take the skis off
for a break, and the binding grooves get choked up with packed snow,
making them difficult to reattach.  The boot grooves sometimes get
a bit snowpacked too if I'm walking around without the skis on, and
that makes it harder to put the skis on as well.

After 1-1/2 seasons, the little rubber bumpers cracked and tore;  I
went to the store I bought the bindings from (EMS) and they gave me
a new set for free.
