That sounds weird?!? I've just changed to accent vibratos on two of mine and didn't notice any change in the action. One I switched from a trapeze tailpiece and re positioned the hole for the strap screw and the other I replaced the R tailpiece and used the same hole. The strings certainly sit higher on the body in the accent, but they don't pop out of the bridge. Maybe notch out the bridge a little more, so the strings are set deeper into the saddles? I'll double check mine tonight and let you know if I have any more thoughts.
