I have had the same issue with bags (Carradice Barleys) on several bikes with sprung saddles. I rectified the "wearing" on one by attaching a Bagman bag support to the lower rails of the saddle. I have heard some complaints from people about these either coming loose or breaking the saddle rails

For not much money or effort you can rig up either a rack or a bracket that pulls the bag back from the saddle and positions it in a more upright, accessible fashion. Whether sprung or un-sprung, tilting a bag to an almost horizontal angle so it can be fixed to the seatpost is asking for trouble.
