TPS62143: Mechanical switch on EN causes failure

Part Number: TPS62143

I am having problem with the TPS62142 and the TPS62143 failing on a system when disabled/re-enabled.  We are using the recommended circuit, except the EN pin is connected to 12V and GND through a break-before-make mechanical switch.  Because of the nature of the project, I may not be able to repeat the test or get scope traces of the failure on the actual system any time soon.   I know that the switch connected to the EN pin is bouncing up and down for a few cycles at about 10-20uS period -- is that a problem?  If we don't hit the switch, there is no problem.   It has failed every time we disable and re-enable with the switch.  The switch itself is on the PCB about 5 inches away from the switchers on a skinny trace.  I am getting ready to try and reproduce the problem with one of the TI demo boards.
