Perplexing rear axle problem

The Patient: a bone stock Frogeye
The Project: fix leaking nearside rear hub
The Problem:  The halfshaft will slide into the axle and after the 
usual fiddling will engage the splines in the differential.  With 
everything lined up, the halfshaft slides home with the usual "thunk" 
of solid contact.  

However, the flange is stopping anywhere between 1/18" from the face of 
the hub down to >almost< contacting the gasket.  Moderate 
applicatations of force make no difference.

Any ideas?
