I never had a problem with this, but not because I thought about it.

When I was little, my mother would pop the stitching on one side of
the reinforcement for the corner of the tzitzis, and tuck my string in
there. (Particularly when I was wearing shorts that were shorter than
my tzitzis, so that they would hang out the bottom otherwise.)

I had assumed the MB meant something similar. But again, that was an
uninformed assumption.
