Yes, I though that the 5mm core, and rolling it up gently "looked ok".  
But I think it must have been too small  a diameter to be stored that 
way for a period of time, my feeling is that it needs to be in a fairly 
"natural" curl.

Actually my experience, if you do happen to pull off the top layer 
before exposure, it still exposes fine.  I imagine there is a time 
factor, not an instant thing.
