It isn't a terrible to fix - as long as you maintain consistent - firm - grip pressure throughout the swing.  If you are holding onto the club without consistent grip pressure - then I agree it could be a struggle.

Wow.  Good call.  The last lesson I had the instructor told me one thing to work on was maintaining firmer grip pressure (not quite how he worded it, but same thing).  One of the reasons I get too far past parallel at A4 is also that.  I'm still slightly under plane but nothing like I used to be and not like the OP.  But I can get a little too loose with the grip and let the club sort of bounce down past parallel.  Obviously that leads to bad things :)
