What often happens it that with the strap fully 'extended' (biggest loop), the tail end stop (usually the webbing doubled back 8-10mm on itself and stitched) gets pulled hard up against the buckle and is both difficult to spot, and difficult to pull out. The trick is to ensure there is enough of the webbing tail exposed to enable easy pulling BEFORE putting awning (or whatever item) in situe. Sometimes it's easier to push the webbing back though the buckle a little to give you an end you can get a grip on (yes, I know, it's a bit like pushing a piece of string!).
Be surprised if wrongly manufactured, but not entirely unknown!

Have you got a photo please? I'm finding it hard to visualize.

Excellent. You've slagged something off and can't provide any evidence. Congratulations.
