I say keep an eye out while using the grigri2 right now. I had the opportunity to use a friends grigri2 on sat at the Garden of the Gods, it is a very sandy area and that might have contributed to the hiccup. I was rappelling with the grigri2 after a two pitch route because I left my atc in the car, midway through the first rappel the device locked up. I was hanging by the device and inspecting it while trying to pull the lever open. I was applying enough force that I thought I might break the handle/device. The rope looked as if it was trying to wedge between the plate and cam. I had a sharp bend over the lip of the grigri2 and moved the rope up and away from the lip to free the blockage. I didn't have a problem after that but I was a little concerned as to why the device blocked, and the amount of force I was applying to the lever without any rope movement.
BTW I was using a beal joker 9.1mm
