I'll add a ditto that removing as much of the basket and burlap is the way to go. I have seen too many instances of bad things happening as well (I posted some pictures on this site somewhere).

It sounds extreme to want the entire basket removed but I try to get atleast the top half of the basket out of there. Smaller B & B stuff like boxwood the entire piece of burlap comes off before the plant goes in the hole... assuming the ball is going to hold together.
