Why would the 25-R latch release the door by applying repetitive force to the 510L lever handle?

Installation is not correct.

If the straight cam on the mortise cylinder is not inverted,  the latch may be forced out of the strike and cause the door to unlatch.  Please reference the lever trim installation instructions for proper inversion of the cylinder cam.
