I remember hearing somone say(many years ago) that clamp on Campy bits had small projections on the underside near the clamp bolt that were actually supposed to "dig in" and keep the piece in question from creeping, especially in the absence of any brazed on "pip", like that often placed on the downtube for clamp on shifters. Having said this , I remember people lining clamp on pieces with handlebar tape, and I did this myself with front derailers. I think it was rather thick for this-didn't leave many threads to tighten things up.
