The grrl had the same issue. She eventually found a pair she liked. Do you want me to find out what brand they are?
Funnily enough, I've been wearing her old pair of Specialized mitts (someone forgot theirs after a trip :S) and have the same issue. Turns out it was a bit of sub-par stitching combined with them being too small. She trimmed the excess material from the inside and they've been fine.
So maybe have a look at the stitching inside your gloves? Maybe try smaller gloves but leave them undone?

Thanks - reassuring that it's not just me.
I can't wear mitts as they always (I've tried lots of different brands and sizes) bunch up between the fingers on my left hand and get painful. Right hand is OK. I can manage better with full finger mountain biking summer gloves but the ones I've tried do bunch up a bit after a while.
I thought about trying to shave the ridges off but worried I'd make a mess of it and end up making it worse. I also thought about putting bar tape on the hoods, but worried it wouldn't work and I'd have a sticky mess, or lose grip when braking with disastrous consequences.
I rode for 3-4 hours on Saturday with them and it wasn't too bad, but I won't get another long ride on them before I do my ultra, so I'll just take a few glove options and try to grow new skin quickly at night.
