Call Campy, my guess is that they'll say the chain is at fault.

I bent links on a couple KMC chains, then went back to Record on my Campagnolo bikes. Mine were because of an arguably bad habit - shifting under full power away from stoplights. Happened twice with KMC. That's not scientific, and obviously thousands (millions?) of folks are doing fine with KMC chains. But I continue the same habits with the Record chains and there is never an issue.
I do use KMC quick links though. I don't care for the Campagnolo peening routine.
My two cents - Record chain, KMC quick link, and do pedal through those front shifts.
