Power Draw Leakage?

I recently purchased Brendan Power's own brand (not Seydel) Power Draw harmonicas in G and A to get a feel for bending in the high register. What I noticed on both harps as I draw bend hole 8 (and only hole 8) is a very high pitched secondary "squeal" along with the note, like maybe leakage into an adjacent hole except it's higher pitch than even hole 10.

However if it's leakage why would it occur only on hole 8 on two separate harps? Seems too coincidental. If anyone's had this issue, and especially has found a solution, I'd love to hear about it.
P.S. Squeal occurs mostly with light breath as heavier draw won't bend easily.

I'll try again,(see post above). Anyone have any ideas?
