Interesting. In 30 years of using this style can, the only time I've experienced what you describe was when either the spout's or the can's vent tube/orifice was too small. In the review I linked this was demonstrated to absurd lengths by the cheap spout that only had a punched hole near the end for a breather. The definitely created the phenomenon—five minutes worth of it. Otherwise I have mixed up high-quality spouts and cans with no difference in performance. Support for this can be seen in the Swiss spout, which has an extended tube that comes nowhere close to the can's breather. It seems clear that the two do not need to mate.

I wasn't clear, they don't need to mate, but the vent mechanism does need to reach past the liquid level and reach any air inside the can. If the way that this is achieved is via the Swiss nozzle's long tube or by some other nozzle's mating with the can's tube then that is what is required.
A downside to the long tube of the Swiss nozzle is that those cans with their own tube make it a little more difficult to install the nozzle. Some of my cans do not have their own tube and the nozzle is easy to install into those cans.

Just a heads up for anyone considering purchasing one of the real deal Swiss spouts. I recently needed to buy another, but about the only place to buy one is Swiss Army Vehicles in Arkansas. Unfortunately, they are usually listed as out of stock on their website. Both times I needed one though, I called them direct and they were able to find me one. Very nice and helpful people to deal with.
Although the price is rather steep, I personally really appreciate the high quality and performance of the real Swiss product. I’ve used other types in the past but unfortunately they have eventually wound up in the trash.
As stated in previous posts, Jon Hanson has an interesting article comparing different spouts on his website that’s worth checking out as well.
