Seatpost worries - Help required

There was a 27.2mm seatpost in my 753 frame when I got it.
I carried on using a 27.2 - but longer.. this is what happened:

Further investigation by using different sized posts (thanks retro di corsa) suggested the seattube was meant for a 27.0.

Bloody hell - that's scarey !!!

Ta for the warning - I'm going to have to be very careful !!!
