Andreas, No matter what pedal type, the common problem of not being able to unclip is due to too much weight on the pedal. Try to transfer a little more weight...
Did you use the additional black plastic spacers with the cleats? I've found some shoes tend to fit tight against the pedal and make disengagement difficult....

I have used the Eggsbeaters for the past 3 or 4 years and unclipping did take some effort, after the cleats have been installed on a new set of shoes....
