I think that Darryl is on the right track with your adhesive choice.
When you say Titebond Veneer glue, I assume you mean Titebond Cold Press glue, right?
Personally, I've never used Titebond Cold Press, but my best guess is that you will have better luck with Unibond, or another urea resin.
Even though Titebond Cold Press is intended for veneering, keep in mind that it's still a PVA glue. Those glues tend to shrink a bit more in the curing process than urea resins, plastic resins, or epoxies. This shrinking could pull your joints apart slightly.
I would get some Unibond, and press another panel with veneer from the same flitch, same procedure, same size and see how it works. Keep in mind that I'm just speculating here...please report back...I'd like to know if your adhesive choice is indeed the issue.
The only other thing that I can think of, is when you tape your joint, make sure the you are really stretching that tape tight horizontally across the joint. And make sure that if you are taping the seam both horizontally and vertically, do the horizontal taping first, then the vertical taping.
