Any brand of pistol, even with correct headspace might be able to fire when slightly out of battery. Generally, they shouldn't do that, but in every production run there will be a few that will.
Yes, it looks like there is an issue with his pistol and it needs to be repaired or replaced, but it's still just a guess as to what the problem is just from looking at a picture without having the gun and ammo in hand to take some measurements and find out what the problem really is to a certainty.
Springfield should take care of it.
