I have overcome this problem by cleaving the other side of the adjoin exactly the same eg..
**********
* ! *
* ! *
*----!===*
* ! *
* ! *
**********
the ! is the adjoin
the - is your cleave
the = is the other cleave you need
basicly when u cleave only 1 side that side of the adjoin has an extra vertice
u must have another vertice on the other side to adjoin properly
i assume after your surface cleave if u unadjoin u will not be able to re adjoin
I hope that helps
