I have seen some very expensive high end bikes that had the problem described. Believe it or not most of the time it was a chain that was too long. I always shift the chain crossed over on the large rear and front chain rings and adjust the chain length to just be barely long enough to shift. No one would ever put his chain on both large chain rings except by accident but the chain should be just long enough to avoid damaging the derailer if it is.
