I remember my mom making Danish pastry, and even made it with her once. We would cut the puff pastry dough into long strips , then twist them, then make a coil. we filled the center of the coil with the filling and didn't seem to have the issues that you had. Perhaps you could try that on your next go-round.
Great idea, thanks for the tip!-Jon
