There does seem to be a "break" on the mouthpiece where it will want to pop up to the next harmonic. Vizzutti said he worked quite a while to get past that break. Most players don't sweat it, prefering to use mouthpiece buzzing for musical rather than strength benefits (except for imitating a mosquito behind violists at outdoor rehearsals).
