Well, This Happened.
I checked the plug on a weedwhacker that hadn't been used in some time, and instead of walking back to the house to grab my SK one, I used the no-name I'd gotten in a bargain bin from Advance Auto years ago as a spare to my SK primary and my Jobsmart backup.
I noticed rubber around the plug, and yep, as I figured, the insert slid right out. Never had a spark-plug socket fail this way.
Since my S-K 4420 5/8 spark plug socket's still going strong, I may end up replacing the junky one with a Snap-On or MAC (since I have a relative who already has the MAC truck coming to his business, I figure that might save me a bit since he probably gets a discount).
