Great suggestion, Jdub.
There really should not be dirt or rust going into the distributor, and this part was both.I switched the clips using an awl. The rusted one came out very easily. And the clip, as you pointed out, Dave, needs to hold the rotor securely. A rusty one is less likely to do that.
I'm not going to return the rotor, but I'd suggest that the Kanter shipping guy do a quick visual inspection of rotors in their tune-up kits before they go out the door.
Last night thinking about it, I realized that there's no electrical connection through that clip. That was my initial concern.
