I have had similar problems. The last step that you need to do is pirranha clean (after acetone and ISO) and close couple it with a dehydration bake. We do a bake at 200C and also the layer that the resist is adhering to could be non-uniform or could have some pin holes, causing improper adhesion. Hope this helps.
