I'm having the same trouble, although it's a glued bung which isn't holding in the long-term.
All the same, like you, I'm surprised the stem isn't holding: carbon steerer/assembly paste/torque wrench.
Scilly.Suffolk-
Just took it all apart, put it back together again, went out and blasted it for 10 miles bunny hopping over pot holes and generally doing anything I could to see if it would loosen - seems absolutely fine and not budged at all this time touch wood

Forgot about the old carbon assembly paste though....
.....do I risk taking it apart again to paste it up!!?!

So here's a question for you fellow forum folk - on both the test rides I've done, after a very short distance the headset has worked lose and I've got play in the forks - i can't imagine it to be anything to do with the top cap and bung as tightening the stem essentially isolates them once compressed and when compressed everything is nice and tight.... Has this ever happened to anyone else? Solutions?!
