I believe it's due to poor adhesion and I'm sure I read on another post (don't ask me where!) that screws are better in this respect because they have smaller heads and the crosspoint recess provides a better key for the plaster.
But I expect a proper plasterer will have the definite answer.

differing joist thicknesses.
floor joists tend to be levelled through on the top edge affording a straight floor but can leave an uneven ceiling, as a ceiling can be plastered straight. once the board becomes damp with the first coat of skim then popping at this stage can occur.
it can occur later with any impact to the stressed board or when fixing light fittings to the ceiling.
