Sram Road HRD Shifter - cable coming undone?

Force 22 HRD right/rear shift cable keeps coming out of the holding slot within the shifter. It's happening increasingly frequently where I'll go to shift mid-ride/race and lose the ability to shift. Basically the little barb on the shift end of the cable comes undone from the retention slot somehow and of course the derailleur pulls on the cable and I'm stuck in the hardest gear for the rest of the ride. Anyone had this happen?

My Ultegra 6800 shifters had a design with something like a 270 degree bend frayed the cables over time and I'm curious if these shifters are prone to something similar. Fixing this involves undoing the cable from the rear derailleur, removing the covers from the shifter, and pushing the cable back up and through to rehook it into the cable holder. I've also replaced the cable on the shifter multiple times so the next step is redoing the housing (internally routed mess).
