It's a common problem, I'm afraid. That style of bag loop used to be pretty common on Brooks and other saddle brands, and they've almost all phased it out. I have seen quite a few B.72's that are torn in this way, as well as old B.17's that had this type of bag loop. I can think of various ways to fix it... not too inelegantly....
