@Phillip: There is nothing wrong with your fork. This probably just reflects a different era. Fads come and go.
Another factor is that you are probably using a conventional, 'narrow' rim. With such a rim, the 25mm tire will ride higher. The new style rims are wider such that the 25mm tire can spread out and doesn't rise as far above the rim. The difference is quite noticeable and I have to readjust your brake calipers to provide significantly more clearance for the wider rims. Probably the newer wide rims with 25mm tires will be fine with your forks.
But the take home message is: RELAX and be happy with the 23mm tires.
I used to ride 20mm tires in the old days and did just fine with 4-corner technical crits. It is all just a ploy to get you to buy new stuff.
