Some of my gilded Bibles didn't have this problem at all, but the finer ones did.
I used to work in a printing factory, and there is a method of sort-of, bending the book with your thumbs. Sort of like fanning a deck of cards, but with a 45 degree bending action. When done lovingly, this doesn't seem to damage, but 'cracks' open the gilded pages, causing them to individually slide against each other, separating the edges. Another good tip if doing the page-by-page method, is to run your hands over each page, depositing small amounts of oils and skin on each page, which will act as a separator, causing the pages to fall apart more smoothly.
Of course, simply using the Bible a whole lot will achieve the desired results too :)

I would have to agree that Cambridge and TBS seem to have the finer qualities available.
