It seems to be fixed on the PS4 so it should be fixed in the mega fix.

Hello Tabe,
I am currently testing Attack from Mars and I am not quit sure how you are losing balls to the kick out. I have tested all three, Stroke of Luck eject, Multi-ball eject, and Flying saucer eject which is ultimately the same as the Multi-ball eject. Is there any more information or a screen shot that you can provide so I can forward this and make sure it is taken care of in the next Patch?

I don't think he's talking about an actual kickout, but the balls will bounce off an invisible object when going around the top loop, causing it to drain down the middle.

Yeah so Annoying. Most of the time it doesn't then all of sudden it does it. Was frustrating the other day playing AFM for the PSN tournament. This Happens in AFM and Cactus Canyon to name a few. I'm not sure what other tables have this annoyance.

This occurs while going up the top left lane to loop around to the power jets correct?

or if a ball doesnt go into the back of the scoop and goes to the right, it doesnt happen every time and thats how it catches you off gaurd. Just played AFM in PS3 tournament it got me

I'll be looking into it, I believe it may have something to do with locked balls and collisions not resetting from game to game. Of course this shouldn't be happening and this is the first I've heard of it occurring on these two tables.

You're new here so I'll be gentle
This has been posted on here multiple times though probably not recently which is why you haven't seen it. I know it occurs in at least one other game though I forget which one right now. The bug has apparently already been fixed in the Android version of TPA. When it was first reported, someone from Farsight said on here that the random "bump" of the ball was intentionally added because the game was too easy without it.

Thanks!
There should not be any unseen collision as described. Whether the game is too easy or difficult, we try our best to emulate the real table. If there isn't a bump on the real table, there shouldn't be in the game.
In regards to the ball going up the left side and hitting something, could this be the wire gate? Here is a video of a live table being played where it hits the wire gate. to hit the top two rollovers.

From 5:12 to 5:15 you can see the ball hit from the right flipper into the top left lane which loops around then hits a closed wire gate.
