Thats the most unlikely thing I've ever heard, thats only ever happened to me when running a rear cassette with a knackered chain and no tensioner. The chain is not skipping, what you need to do is strip it and clean it out, and also check the pawl order, I've heard them arriving with 3 long pawls and 3 short in that order, they need to be long, short, long, short, long, short.
