The newer higher-end ones like the seths have a different buckle/cable placement, and better micro adjustment setup so it'd tougher for that to happen

too bad that those are influence-boot. The lower bucklewrap is made entirely of plastic that's prone to break under high stress. Looks like the boot has the same problems snowboarders have with their straps. To avoid it breaking FT has to reinforce the plastic with metalwire or redesign the buckle itself.

full tilt is really good about warrantees. take em to your shop, tell em what happened, you will probably get a free buckle and cable.

This happend on both of my boots, I've been skiing with only the 2 buckles for like a year and half and I haven't noticed any difference anyways.
