My guess is it is a ejector issue. Stovepipes are an ejector issue. Brass being ejected short distances is an ejector issue. I guess there is a small chance the the extractor is tweaked in some way that is causing problems, but I don't see how.
For the brass to be turned around, the extractor had to hold onto the rim long enough to clear it from the extension and allow the ejector to push it out and give it some rotational spin. If the extractor was worn or too weak, the case would be laying in the reciever, extension, or most likely chamber, in the mouth forward orientation.
Your problem most likely stems from either the fact that the ejector spring is too weak or the ejector recess is too dirty. Being that it has been stored all these years, my first guess would be harded deposits in the ejector recess that are slowing down the functioning of the ejector. Easiest way to try to fix this is to either soak the bolt in solvent or CLP, or put a dab of CLP/solvent around the ejector and then work it in and out repeatedly with a empty case head (i.e. - hook rim under extractor and pivot case head onto ejector). CLP would probably be the better choice though for this to work. If that doesn't work then replace the spring.
Edited to add that there is also a small chance the ejector is bent, so that might need to be replaced. You wouldn't think it possible for such a short piece of steel to get bent, but it happened to a friend of mine, although he was shooting a upper using parts of questionable quality.
