I haven't experienced what you mention but try darkening the entire 
image with a new brightness/contrast adjustment layer. then fill that 
layer in with black (edit>fill...)  and then paint the areas you want 
burnt down with white. I like to darken more than I need and control 
the burning with the transperancy setting of the brush that I'm using. 
(I never use the burn tool. I like the results from this method far 
better).
