Mine don't squeak, but i've read that if you cut a small piece of old inner tube and wedge it between the rails and leather where they meet near the back it stops the squeak.
here's the thread I read it in:

Your cog is slipping.
Put a few drops of any light oil on the rails, as well as the front bolt assembly. Both of my Brooks saddles squeak like crazy if I don't oil them from time to time.

Do you think putting a drop of Phil Wood tenacious oil would be overdoing it? I've been having this problem as well and that's the only oil I got.
