I had a G33J chuff like that once. I don't think it has anything to do with how long it was assembled. I assembled mine minutes before the flight. In my case it think I might not have gotten the igniter all the way to the top of the grain.
At least your flight still worked. When mine chuffed the 8 - 10 times, it only got about 30 - 40 ft up and the normally very stable rocket did a loop and the motor burned out. It landed a few feet from the pad and the ejection charge went off a second or two after landing. Fortunately it landed flat with no damage other then paint scratches and pride.

I don't know about MarkH, but I definately sanded my slot. I always sand them if it looks like they need it or not.
