Here are a couple thoughts based on my experience.
If you have a wood or mdf subfence, like Rod's picture, you must be sure the bottom of this subfence is not lower than the bottom of the aluminum fence itself. Otherwise you're tightening this subfence to the table instead. When this happened to me, I found it would not tighten as effectively, and "gave" a little during crosscuts.
Also, you can thoroughly clean the bottom of miter fence and the table top where it sits with alcohol to help keep it from slipping. I've even given each piece a few swipes with some 400grit sandpaper, side to side. This made mine rock solid, until it wore smooth again after a few months.
You might want to check the flatness of your miter table and fence, or if the plastic pin has worn excessively if you're getting a lot of movement. .
